North Down Ladies
A ladies' team known as Comber Ladies associated with, but not part of, North Down played from 1898 until 1914. In late 1961, North Down ladies affiliated to the Ulster Women's Hockey Union and played in the Minor Cup towards the end of that first season. The ladies were assimilated into North Down which became, and remains, a joint club without formal men's or ladies' sections. The first eleven reached the top flight of Ulster hockey in 1979 where they remained for some 15 years. They now play in Senior League One and are supported by three other elevens.
