Six students from KH proudly represented their provinces and clubs at the prestigious Leinster Hockey Girls National Blitz (U-16), held on Sunday, 17 May 2026 at Rathdown School and Monkstown Hockey Club. The event formed part of the Hockey Ireland U-16 Development Programme and brought together some of the top young hockey talent from across Leinster, Munster, Ulster and Connacht.
Our KH representatives played outstanding hockey throughout the day, competing at a very high standard against many of Ireland’s leading U-16 players. Their commitment, teamwork and skill were a credit to both the school and their clubs.
The students representing KH were:
- Isabelle (Form 1) – South Leinster / North Kildare Hockey Club
- Jessica (Form 2) – South Leinster / North Kildare Hockey Club
- Annabelle (Form 2) – Leinster South County / Weston Hockey Club
- Katie (Form 3) – South Leinster / North Kildare Hockey Club
- Ali (Form 3) – South Leinster / North Kildare Hockey Club
- Phillipa (Form 1) – South Leinster / Naas Hockey Club
This is a tremendous achievement for all six players and reflects the hard work and dedication they continue to show both in school and at club level. We are incredibly proud of how they represented KH on the national stage.
We wish all six girls the very best of luck in the next stage of the programme and congratulate them once again on an excellent performance. They did KH proud!
