We compete in both the Men's and Women's National Hockey Leagues (EYHL) and have a strong history of winning top level competitions.
This season, our president is Alan Giles, Men's Captain is Patrick Shanahan, Women's Captain is Rachel Scott, and Juniors Captain is Andrea Pappin.
Join The Club!
New members always welcome
Our (regular) season runs from September to April and there is always plenty of hockey every weekend to keep people of all ages entertained. Over the summer months the club hosts touring teams, engages in youth tournaments, and supports mixed-gender social hockey, so we are never really closed!
New members and visitors are always welcome. Come down to one of our training sessions and talk to our Club Captains or even just call in for a coffee on the balcony or maybe something stronger in the bar! Whatever you prefer, you're welcome to join us in supporting all our players for the season ahead

Alan Giles
Alan is a multi-generation and lifelong member of PWHC, starting in the early 80’s knocking a ball around at the age of 2 with his family.
Having been an active player for many years, it’s not surprising to hear that Alan has also coached numerous sides in the club including the Ladies 2XI, Men’s 2XI, assistant player-coach of the Men’s 1XI and he is now currently coaching the Men’s 2XI as well as his children’s team at St. Matthews.
"I’m really excited about being involved during the club’s very special centenary year and I welcome the energy and enthusiasm of the committee and I am looking forward to working with them, the trustees, and the wider club members on the various club projects planned.”

Rachel Scott
Rachel (better known as Scotty to most on the hockey pitch) had Pembroke in her blood from a very young age being daughter to Sally Scott (nee Pendleton).
Progressing through all levels of the fillies section, Rachel’s breakthrough season into the Women's section saw her play on every team from the Women's 5s all the way through to the Women's 1s at the age of 16.
From then on Rachel’s playing career was spent at the top level for the next 10 years, including a brief stint playing at Trinity and a season in Powerhouse St Kilda in Melbourne, Australia.
In recent years Rachel is now part of our most prolific team, the Women's 2nd team, winning three Div 2 titles and an Irish Junior Cup in her three seasons so far.

Fiona O'Donovan
When speaking about herself, Fiona likes to keep things short and sweet.
Fiona has been playing Women's 2s for Pembroke for as long as most people (and she) can remember. She has proudly captained the Women's 2s to multiple Irish Junior Cups and Leinster Division 2 titles.
Between hockey training and matches, Fiona is a Chartered Accountant working as an auditor for a Big 4 firm.
Fiona views her role as safeguarding the financial position of the Club for current and future members.

Kristian Mansfield
Kristian joined Pembroke in the summer of 2018, after swapping Dubai for Dublin. Originally from the UK, Kristian brings a wealth of knowledge and a unique view on how other clubs operate on a more global scale.
Kristian is coming into his 4th year on the Executive, and his role span's far beyond just the social channels, having a focus on solving the technology and camera solutions for the club, as well as supporting coach hiring and player acquisition.
An active coach and player, Kristian has Captained the Men's 2nd XI to a double league unbeaten run over the last two seasons, as well as coaching our Women's 2nd XI, winning 3 league titles in a row and an IJC for good measure.
"Being part of PWHC is such a privilege, the people and how we fill the club house is crucial to our success on the pitch. I'm excited to work closely with our Men's and Women's captains over the next 12 months to help position PWHC at the very top of the social and league tables!".

Jane O’Quigley
Jane joined Pembroke in 2017 having had a five year hiatus from hockey after school. After two years as an admittedly lazy hockey player in Pembroke, she was motivated by the social side of things to fully get involved in the Club (and training) and she hasn’t looked back since. Jane is a committed member of the Women’s lower division teams and you’ll likely hear her before you see her in the Club on any given Saturday night.
Outside of Pembroke, she’s a great woman for paperwork, books and rules so has slotted into the role of Secretary well. She’s a friendly sort and open to questions, comments or queries so please do contact Jane if you have any qualms in Pembroke and she will do her best to help (most likely direct you to someone else).
“I think building on the excitement of the Centenary last year, there is a huge appetite in the Club to enjoy and make the most of our great facilities – people just want to spend time in the Clubhouse! I am looking forward to a year of fun on the pitch, great social events and coffees on the balcony."

Patrick Good
Patrick has been a dedicated member of Pembroke since the age of 10. Over the course of four decades, he has showcased an exceptional and unwavering commitment to hockey at PWHC, representing the 4th, 3rd, 2nd, and 1st XI teams.
Patrick's passion for player development in a competitive environment has led him to serve as a coach for both the women's and men's 2nd teams. Through his guidance, he has nurtured talent and instilled a culture of growth and excellence among aspiring young hockey players, having a direct impact on the 1st teams.
Currently, Patrick contributes as the men's captain, giving back to the sport and his club, bringing a wealth of experience.

Andrea Pappin
Andrea has always been a more ‘social’ player in hockey, playing for Pembroke and also the Sunday Morning League in San Francisco in her twenties (which is a little while ago now).
She’s recently picked back up her stick for Summer Hockey and also to knock around with her girls, one of which is a proud member of the Juniors Section.
Andrea is passionate about getting young people to play team sports and to enjoy all comes with that - teamwork, fun, respect, new friends, and being part of a larger Club community.
