Glenanne SC
The Glenanne SC is a 1943 established Irish sports club from Dublin . The club emerged from the Graftoniens company sports club of the Brown Thomas department store on Grafton Street . The new club kept the old colors green and white and named itself after an incision (English: glen) through which the River Poddle led on the club grounds on Fortfield Street. In summer was golf and lawn tennis played in winter hockey and table tennis . In 1958 the hockey rink was the first in Ireland to have floodlights. Glenanne experienced a deep cut when in 1970 the club premises were lost due to planned development. Only the hockey department survived in a greatly reduced form with only two men's teams without women's hockey. Until the club began to use the all-weather area of the St. Marks School in the south-west of Dublin more and more from 1985, it had to use various facilities. In 1989 the association made an agreement with St Marks School and the Ministry of Education, rented the school's sports grounds, and built a hockey field for £ 300,000 that the school can continue to use during the day. In 2002 the facility was modernized again and the lease with the school administration was extended by 35 years. Both construction measures came about with the support of state lottery funds.
Glenanne SC now provides five men's and three women's teams for the operations of Leinster Hockey , with men and women playing in the highest league, the Leinster Senior League Division One , but only the men are represented at the top. This has only been the case since the beginning of the new millennium, when the only national championship title to date was won in 2000, as in other sports, the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland play a joint All Ireland title. In 2001 Glenanne represented Ireland at the EuroHockey Club Champions Cup , but lost all four games at the tournament in Bloemendaal , which meant that the Irish champions were only allowed to compete in the second-rate EuroHockey Club Trophy a year later. In 2002 the club made it to the finals of the EuroHockey Cup Winner Trophy, losing there against the Spanish club Atlètic Terrassa , but thus achieved the right to start Ireland at the EuroHockey Cup Winners Cup 2003. In 2008 the team won the Euro Hockey Trophy with a 5-4 im Final against the host CA Montrouge . In 2010 the club started for the first time in the Euro Hockey League EHL , but dropped out after two defeats in the preliminary round. In 2011, Glenanne qualified for the round of 16 at the EHL . There the club was defeated by the Dutch representative HGC Wassenaar 0-2.
