Enniscorthy HC Rising!
July 07, 2013
A sun- kissed Astro Active Centre, Enniscorthy witnessed what is hoped to be the rebirth of 
men's hockey in Wexford on Saturday last, July 6th. After sterling work by Fraser Rothwell and David Medcalf, former members of South East Wanderers locked horns in a friendly with Enniscorthy Hockey Club members who have worked their way up through the under-age ranks- along with some older members, with an eye on league competition for the 2013-14 season. Enniscorthy Hockey Club has taken the decision to form a men's team for the new season, and this was seen as an ideal way to test the wtaers.
Players were undoubtedly relieved with the decision not to field goalkeepers on what was a very warm morning and afternoon. Despite being a friendly, it was a hard-fought game as the new generation of hockey players got to grips with their more experienced counterparts, and there were plenty of grazed elbows and knees in evidence afterwards! Following Enniscorthy v Wanderers, a mixed game took place, and the mixture of youth and experience witnessed augurs well for the future.
Enniscorthy Hockey Club hopes to hold a similar event in the near future, with the evening of July 18th or 19th being considered as possible dates, at the same venue. Please contact Kieran Costello at kieran.costello85@gmail.com for details.
