We caught up with the Ulster Hockey Senior 1 match between Larne and Rndalstown at Larne Gammar on Wednesday evening. Larne were looking for a win or a draw to claim promotion for the third season on the bounce, a remarkable achievement. Randalstown, despite being in the hunt for most of the seaason, had dropped off the pace in recent weeks but they were always going to be a danger having beaten Larne in the Senior Cup in their last visit to Larne Grammar.

I stayed on at Lower Cairncastle Road to catch the first half of the McConnell Shield match between Larne 2XI and Ulster University 2XI. Action from the McConnell Shield match between Larne and Ulster University Elks at Larne Grammar on Saturday 11th January 2025 It was another close match between two evenly matched teams. Both sides created chances in the first half but the game was still scoreless as the darkness descended towards the end of the fist half.

With a raft of cancellations on Saturday I was able to stay close to home and catch the Ulster Hockey Senior Cup Quarter Final match between Larne and Raphoe at Lower Cairncastle Road. It's been quite the rejuvenation at Larne who sit atop Senior 1, battling for a third straight promotion, but they had to battle hard against an experienced Raphoe side in this lively encounter.
