Help us get to the Masters Hockey World Cup in New Zealand

We are a month away from the World Cup!

We’re the Ireland Men’s Masters hockey team and this year we’re super excited to compete in this prestigious event - the World Cup hosted by Auckland, New Zealand in November 2024.

6 months preparation of training and matches, all over Ireland (and one in London) , as well as flights to Auckland, hotel accommodation at all these locations don't come cheap.

The all up cost of the trip is horribly expensive - around €5k per player. A steep amount even for those with healthier bank balances!

Like most of Ireland’s sports teams, even with a sponsor (thank you Savill's! ) we are almost entirely self-funding. So, although we’re busy saving like mad, we need to find a way to take the sting out of the cost.

Can you help us tackle the expense?

We’re asking for your help through our Go Fund Me page.

There are 28 people going including a support staff. If each person attending can encourage their friends to contribute around €10 each then we will be able to help some of those squad members who are feeling the pinch.

It is a first cap for some players, for others it is a first World Cup. For every member of the squad, it is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

We hope you will be in our corner…

Many thanks,

Ireland Men’s Masters hockey team
