The Cup season gets underway this weekend with GHC 1st team at home to Victorians from Ulster in the third round of the Irish Hockey Trophy.  The game starts at 1pm in Dangan and it is hoped that as many members as possible can come along and support.  

The following weekend sees Galway 2nds team in the second round of the Irish Junior Cup against Corinthians II.  Again the game starts at 1pm in Dangan.  

Best of luck girls!

Hi All,

Just a note to let you know that we received a thank you letter from "Sr. Claude".  As you already know, the bagpacking at Christmas was a great success.  Not only was it a club fundraiser, but it also went towards St. Claude's Christmas fund which helps families in need in Galway.  "...On behalf of the many families helped at Christmas - a very sincere 'thank you'.  May God continue to bless each of you with peace, love and sincerity.  Sr. Claude."

Thanks once again to all who helped out for those few days before Christmas especially, Rita, Ann, Clare and Nicola.  

Donal Dempsey, President.

On behalf of Galway Hockey Club, I would like to thank everyone involved in the organising and taking part in the bag packing over the past two days in Dunnes In Knocknacarra.  This is GHC's biggest annual fundraiser and without the help of everyone involved - it wouldn't work.  Thanks especially to Rita, Clare, Nicola and Ann for organising the girls.  To Barbara, Eileen and Sandra for supervising. And finally for all the players who bagpacked.  From what I hear from both the supervisors and the many people who have shopped in Dunnes over the past number of days, you did the club proud.  Thanks to Tommy in Dunnes for giving us these well sought after slots.  Donal, Presindent

It is the club policy to only cancel training sessions where there is concern over the safety of the players.  Last season, this happened during the extreme cold weather spell in December and January.  Where this happens, there will be a pitch inspection as near as possible to the training session and parents will be informed of a cancellation only by text.  Where no text is received, training will go ahead.

Training will not be cancelled because of rain.  If it’s raining, the call is yours to make.
