Hockey is the latest sport to fall victim to updated Covid guidelines

'The Board of Hockey Ireland has decided to postpone all hockey competition on an all-Ireland basis until further notice'

Before this week’s elevation of restrictions, the all-island EY Hockey League Division 1 and 2 and the top leagues in each of the provinces had been allowed to go ahead

All club hockey action has been placed on hold until early November in the wake of Wednesday’s tightening Level 3 restrictions on sport.

Prior to that, the all-island EY Hockey League Division 1 and 2 and the top leagues in each of the provinces had been allowed to go ahead as they were classified as “senior club championships” and thus given an exemption to be played.
