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.

“The North will at least preserve your flesh for you; Northerners are pale for good and all. There’s very little difference between a dead Swede and a young man who’s had a bad night. But the Colonial is full of maggots the day after he gets off the boat.”
—Louis-Ferdinand Céline (1894–1961)
“That the townspeople might better see him, the President was persuaded to leave his carriage by the inducement that the ladies wished to get a look at him. ‘By Gad,’ he repied, ‘I’d like to see your ladies,’ and alighted.”
