It’s been a very busy year at SETU Arena, which has meant lots of videos and, as you can see, they don’t always go to plan on the first take!
A huge thank you to all of our staff who are constantly willing to step in front of the camera and help us create content. We know it’s not always easy, and sometimes it takes a few takes to get there… 😅
So, enjoy some of our favourite bloopers from behind the scenes, and a big well done to our staff for always being such good sports! 👏

We caught up with Michael Creane, Chairperson of Inline Hockey Ireland, during the U17 European Championships at SETU Arena.
Michael spoke about why SETU Arena has become such a strong venue for Inline Hockey events from our state-of-the-art facilities and spacious event areas to changing rooms, spectator seating, on-site food options and, most importantly, the team behind it all.
Hosting events of this scale is exactly what SETU Arena is built for, and we’re incredibly proud to provide a venue that can welcome athletes, teams and supporters from across Ireland and Europe.
A huge thank you to Michael for the kind words and to Inline Hockey Ireland for choosing SETU Arena. 🏒🇮🇪
