Castle Hockey Club is celebrating moving to a new home at Carrickfergus Grammar School’s £0.5m floodlit playing facility.

And players from the club, formed following the merger of Carrick Ladies and Greenisland Ladies in 2016, have had plenty to enjoy on an off the pitch in the past too as these pictures from the archive between 2007 and 2010 show.

There’s even action from when the two clubs were rivals!
