Banbridge
Banbridge HC began in 1897 when a group of local young men met on a Saturday afternoon to knock a ball about at Millmount Green beside the River Bann, just off the Lurgan Road. Little did they know then that they were in the process of creating a club that would still be around in over 100 year's time.
Throughout their history Banbridge teams have won all the Irish Hockey union and Ulster Branch trophies on numerous occasions and in recent times have qualified to represent Ireland in European competitions. The Club has won the Senior League 18 times, the Irish Senior Cup 9 times, the Kirk Cup 17 times and the Anderson Cup 13 times, and also had noted success in the European B Division
