Antrim has enjoyed peaks and troughs on the sporting field over the years, but they have consistently punched above their weight on the hockey field.There have been many great exponents of the game who have pulled on local colours, such as the late Alvin Carson, but others have made their own indelible niche too.

This view taken in 1924 from the back wall of the castle and in the background is the Deerpark bridge. The steps to the right lead up to the castle - Sadly the steps have another story to tell and that is that one of the 'Lordies' fell down these steps and broke his neck. Local man Rodney McCullough
remembers there being a tunnel next to the steps, it is still there and it leads to the pump house. The cannon has been found and will be back sometime in the future but sadly not in the Castle grounds due to vandalism. It now stands on the Castle wall in Market Square.
