OUR HISTORY

Tullamore Hockey Club, the brain child of Maura Milne, Catherine Deacon and friends, was formed in September 1985, with a view to giving “a sporting and social outlet to the affiliated lady members of Tullamore Rugby Club and Friends”.

A very successful and enjoyable 25th anniversary dinner dance was held in the Tullamore Court Hotel in April of 2011 to pay tribute to both past and present members. In its commemorative 25th year in existence, the club was delighted to celebrate the promotion of its 1sts team in a highly competitive Leinster League.

At Junior level, players from the ages of 10 to 18 years are catered for. Most recently, the club has drawn links with three local secondary schools in Tullamore and they are now competing in the Leinster Schools League. Over the years, success was aided in no mean way by the nurture and development of these younger members through the Junior Club. It is an acknowledgment of the hard work of the many Junior coaches and players through the years, that many players from the current 1sts team came through Tullamore’s Junior ranks.

Since its conception, Tullamore Hockey Club has also attracted players from a wide catchment area, such as Birr, Portlaoise and Mullingar. Tullamore’s home ground is the Tullamore Harriers where members enjoy excellent facilities which include a state of the art sand based astroturf pitch.

We look forward to celebrating Tullamore Hockey Club's 40th anniversary during the 2024 / 2025 season.
