Saturday Update – 11th January 2025

Week 1 of the Mens/Ladies hockey season was underway last weekend (weather dependent) as the recent cold snap led to a few postponed matches due to melting snow and waterlogging.

Almost all of our teams faced opposition from Castletown teams, with only the Ladies A team failing to grab a win this week.


Vikings Ladies A (0 – 4) Castletown Ladies A

A new look Vikings Ladies squad including a number of younger players, put up a good fight, but Castletown had a strong press and made the most of it, with our top Ladies team losing 4-0 to the top Southerners team.

Vikings Ladies B (4 – 0) Castletown Ladies C

A great start to the season for the Ladies B team, putting 4 goals past Castletown Ladies C and pushing the B team into second in the table, a newish team coming together well in both halves.

It was cold and wet but everyone put in 100% and a good score line to show for it.

Dani Murphy making sure she followed up on the keeper a few times, and nicely worked goal for the 3rd goal, similarly Emilia’s goal came from a fast break with great passing head up when entering the D and a fantastic pass finished with a top finish.

Poppy Gerrard continued to make great saves throughout the game.
