Biography:
Bray Hockey Club was originally founded in 1993 by Fred Lee and Deirdre Walsh and we merged the Mens and Ladies clubs in 1997.
Our first Ladies game was in St Gerard’s on 16th October 1993 against Malahide in the Leinster Minor B league and since that first victory we have had an array of challenges and triumphs. We achieved the highest level with both our Mens and Ladies playing in Division One, our junior section is at capacity with an average of 150 players and we launched our first Ladies vets team in October 2012. In 2012/13 we had four ladies teams (D2,8,11 & 14) and two men (D7&8).
Bray Hockey Club prides itself as not just striving to be the best hockey players we can, but also to be a welcoming and supportive club to all members. Our socials range from summer hockey, our annual Golf Day, legendary Hallowe’en nights, end of season bashes and we always love a cup final day out.
Our home pitch is Loreto Secondary School in Bray and we welcome new members - we are on facebook and twitter or see www.brayhockeyclub.ie for more details.
