Congratulations to our Senior Division Champions, the Dublin City Riot Inline Hockey Club, on their success this season.

With an impressive track record, and an exhilaratingfinal game against Inline Hockey Cork, they have managed to secure first place in the 2011/2012 League.

All the clubs' performances deserve an ovation, and their participation and dedication are highly valued.

Final statistics of the League can be viewed on our National League Website.

As the 2011/2012 Season has now drawn to a close, I would like to extend my appreciations to all those that made our National League possible.

Thanks to all the Clubs; Inline Hockey Cork, Dublin City Riot, Dublin Vipers, Galway Bay Lightning, Kilkenny City Storm, and Kilkenny Bandits, for their involvement, dedication, and their respective organization by their executives, to the Inline Hockey Ireland Committee and Appointed Officials, to the Referees and various volunteers for giving up their time in order to allow our games to run smoothly, to all the Table and Scoreboard Officials, and to all the individual players and their supporters.

Best of luck to our new Executive Committee for the year ahead.

We are all looking forward to working closely together, again, and only improving on the standards to which our competitions are run.

At the IHI AGM last Sunday a new Executive Committee was elected. The new committee is:

• Chairperson: Victor O'Brien
• Vice Chairperson: Shawn Toner
• General Secretary: Rob Shelly
• Financial Officer: Hugh Bancroft
• National Children's Officer: Paul Cummins
• Director of Ladies Playing Operations: Fiona Ryan

Last year's Executive Committee would like to wish the new committee all the best in the year and season ahead.

Due to the nearing end of the National League and the main body of events for the season, the IHI Executive Committee has reduced member registration fees for the remainder of the season. The new registration fee rates are €10 for adults and €5 for children.

These rates are available to all new registrations until the end of the season (August 31st 2012). Registering enables members to be eligible to participate in IHI and affiliated club activities. There are a number of events and tournaments being organised for the summer. Completing registration early will ensure eligiblity to take part these events.

On behalf of IHI, I would like to extend a heartfelt congratulations to both the Inline Hockey Cork and Galway Bay Lightning Development Division teams.

The Lightning have come out on top after a six game season, and all the games' statistics can be viewed on our League Website.

Both teams' performances deserve appreciation, having made most of their game days. The development of our sport in Ireland is paramount, and I would like to thank this year's clubs for their dedication and participation.

All the players involved in the Development Division are a massive part of our organization, and I wish them the best of luck in the future. I am certain that as all of our newer members' skills develop, our competitions will benefit as a whole.

I look forward to our next season, which is already shaping up to be much more sizable, and will, no doubt, test this year's champions as they defend their title.
