Phenomenal achievement.
I'm not sure how they translate this into wider success. There are 10 teams in the Irish Hockey League - it already has corporate sponsorship from EY. 6 of the teams are based in Dublin - the two long established universities - UCD and TCD and a team each in Ballsbridge, Sandymount, Rathfarnham and Monkstown. Three of those areas are in the highest echelon of desirable residential areas in Dublin.
The schools that do not have hockey facilities at the moment would potentially need significant investment in astroturf facilities (although schools are commercially funding them through football 5-a-side evening use).
