Masters is the fastest growing form of hockey nationally and certainly here in the NW. We began our first season knowing of just over 200 men and women interested in playing Masters and ended it with more than twice as many! Last year saw the launch of our first Masters Clubs competition within the NW – the NW 500.

Inline hockey is somewhere in between, and right now it is one of the fastest growing sports in Ireland. And the sport is only going from strength to strength, both at a domestic and a national level. There are now 23 clubs across Ireland competing in eight different divisions for men, women and juniors, with teams available for players of all abilities and ages. Our numbers are as high as they've ever been, we have as many clubs as we've ever had and hopefully we're going to keep on growing. Six of the clubs reside in Ulster, with rinks in Ballymena, Belfast and Portadown accommodating all of the teams, meaning all of them are accessible for anyone looking to get involved.
