U18 Indoor Tournament — The Preview
November 05, 2025
This Sunday, Boyne Hockey Club will host the U18 Boys and Girls Leinster Indoor Hockey Tournament in Gormanston. Teams from across Leinster will compete for the first indoor titles of the season, with hockey running from 9am–5pm across four indoor courts.
We are also delighted to welcome a Girls U18 team from Galway this year. As Galway continues to grow its indoor programme, we are pleased to invite them to take part — supporting the development of the game across the country. We look forward to welcoming all clubs to Gormanston for what promises to be a great day of indoor hockey.
