Sponsorship 2011

We are proud to announce that the Hoops SC will be sponsoring Stephen Rice for the 2011 Season. This is our fourth year sponsoring Ricer and we are proud to be associated with a player who has been such an integral part of the Rovers set-up since his arrival at the club. We wish Stephen all the best for the season. The picture above was taken at the recent St Pat's game where we made a presentation to Stephen for his contribution to our very succesful 2010 campaign.

We also sponsored the Match Ball at the St Pats game and were presented with a ball signed by the Rovers squad by Ricer. We will be looking to take out other sponsorship opportunities with the club as the season progresses. We will keep you updated as these arise. KOH

Welcome Back

Where did those couple of months go? It only seems like yesterday I was trudging out of the Aviva with the sound of Sligo fans celebrating ringing in my ears. We retired to The Vintage slightly disappointed but still smug in the knowledge that 2 weeks previously we had clinched our first league title in 16 years. It was a nervy night in Bray but on the back of the last series of the games, I don't think we could have expected anything different.

When it appeared that Rovers would be cruising to the championship, things took a turn for the worst on a rainy night (seems that they're always rainy) in Dundalk. So its fitting that our first competitive game of the season is in Oriel Park. With both teams making some big signings in the off season, it will be a good early indication of how we have progressed. See you all there. KOH
