Feburary 2015
Dear Sir/Madam
On behalf of Antrim Men’s Hockey Club, I would like to invite you to
enter teams in our 55th annual Antrim Six-a-side hockey tournament
to be held at the Antrim Forum Leisure Centre from the 25th April to
the 1st May 2015.
The event is staged as a festival of hockey at the end of the domestic
league season and is an opportunity for teams to play expressive
hockey in a fun environment. The event is staged in conjunction with
Antrim Borough Council, with provision of grant funding and the preparation of the Paddy Marks Arena for the event
We would request that club match secretaries and schools staff could
encourage club members and pupils to get involved. The minimum we
can offer is the opportunity to get involved in a fast moving, very enjoyable tournament, that has been very well supported in previous years.
If we can be of assistance or if you require clarification or additional information then please do not hesitate to call on 07703642506 or email
[email protected]
Yours faithfully
Greg Shirley
