Irish hockey is delighted to announce a new hockey club for County Mayo which will be called Gortnor Abbey HC. The club, based in Crossmolina, will officially be unveiled tomorrow at 11.15am and is the result of hard work by IHA Qualified Coach Ann Carroll, and the IHA Western Development Officer Phil Oakley. Ann, who has been working with Gortnor Abbey School for some time now as well as with two additional primary schools who had not played hockey before, has generated sufficient interest within these schools to warrant the creation of this new club. The club will cater for 8 – 14 year-old girls with training taking place each Saturday at GortnorAbbey School. The club will also enter teams to compete in the Connacht Junior Competitions.
