We are pleased to announce that we have linked up with O'Neills Irish International Sports Company to be East Grinstead Hockey Club's new supplier of on field and off field hockey kit for the next 3 years, a deal which covers all the club's teams.

O'Neills was founded in Ireland in 1918 and supplies high profile clubs and grassroots teams in hockey, football, rugby union and league, Gaelic games and a variety of other sports across the globe.

Whilst we welcome O'Neills to the EG family we aren't saying goodbye to STX as they will continue to stay involved with the club as the clubs stick sponsor. We would like to thank Ed Saunders and all the team at STX for their continued support and look forward to continuing our journey with them .

O'Neills Irish International Sports Co Ltd are delighted to announce a new partnership with one of the UKs leading Hockey Clubs, East Grinstead.

Having developed links across a range of sports on the UK mainland and further afield in the last 15 years, O'Neills recently signed up the Australian Hockeyroos and Kookaburras demonstrating that their ability to manufacture quality kit and transport it from Ireland to Australia in lead times many competitors cannot match.

O'Neills hopes that East Grinstead HC will become its flagship in the sport and now aims to increase their supply to community based Hockey Clubs which already include Basingstoke, Blackheath & Elthamians, Lewes, Marden, Oundle, St Ives, Sale, Trojans and Watton, via an exceptional service which offers 4-5 week lead times for bespoke fully sublimated teamwear, 2-3 week lead times for embroidered/printed leisure and training wear, plus an Online Shop which can supply agreed club merchandise with 3-10 day delivery.

O'Neills New Business Manager Peter Kennedy said "It has been a pleasure to work alongside officials of the East Grinstead HC and looks forward to seeing their teams take to the astros around England and Europe wearing the iconic O'Neills brand".

Chairman of East Grinstead Hockey Club Phillip Coote added "To partner with an apparel brand and manufacturer of O'Neills' quality is fantastic for East Grinstead Hockey Club.The design options and versatility of what O'Neills offers, coupled with their commitment to quick turnaround delivery times ensuring a seamless experience for our members was key in selecting O'Neills as our new kit partner".
