Leinster Divisional Cup Finals Weekend – A Recap
April 13, 2026
What an outstanding weekend at Grange Road!
Over two action-packed days, 17 finals were played as clubs from across Leinster came together for an action packed weekend. With high-quality matches across both the front and back pitches, there was no shortage of drama and brilliant team performances throughout.
We were also delighted to welcome hockey legend Nick Irvine, alongside an excellent group of co-commentators who helped bring the action to life. A huge thank you as well to all the players, officials, staff, and supporters whose energy helped create a fantastic atmosphere across both pitches.
