We are a newly formed hockey club in Athenry since 2021.
We are looking for new players and club officials for the 2024-2025 season.
We value Respect, Tradition, Fair-Play, Competition and Enjoyment.
Competition
We are looking for a new Club Crest to be designed and we need some pictures to help us brand the club. Who better to ask than the community itself, thus we are reaching out to the local schools in the area to see if they can help us here.
Competition 1
Club Crest
The design of the Club Crest will be with us for many years to come and so its an opportunity for a little creativity from someone artistic to design it for us. Our current crest is pictured here - can you improve on it?
Competition 2
Swan Hockey!
The club needs more than a crest - as we are a new club and we need some cool and trendy images to put on our club gear - something that relates to our club name or Athenry itself.
