Last season saw the Men’s Irish Hockey Challenge competition take on a new look with two pools of team playing for a chance to make the semi finals. This seems to have been a winning formula for the Irish Hockey Challenge as the number of teams taking part this year has increased over past seasons and should prove to to make this the most exciting Men’s Irish Hockey Challenge we have seen for a while. Fixtures for the Men’s Irish Hockey Challenge will be announced in the coming days but the two pools of teams are confirmed to be:

POOL A POOL B
PORTRUSH MULLINGAR
ANTRIM NAAS
SAINTFIELD WICKLOW
PORTRANE2 MIDLETON
LIMERICK

Best of luck to all teams competing in this seasons Hockey Ireland Cup Competitions.
