Banbridge Hockey Club

Banbridge Hockey Club

Banbridge Hockey Club is a hockey club based in Banbridge, County Down, Northern Ireland. The club currently plays in the Premier League of the Ulster Senior League. The club was formed in 1897.

Grounds

The club's first home was at Millmount Green, off the Lurgan Road in Banbridge. In 1949 the Club purchased grounds at Castlewellan Road. These continued to be used until 1998 when the need for an artificial turf pitch meant a move to the new Banbridge Borough Council facilities at Havelock Park. In March 2007 plans were announced for the laying of a new replacement water-based surface.
