Begley goal ensures historic win for Institute

Roisin Begley’s final second strike helped Catholic Institute secure a little piece history as they landed their first ever win in the women’s EY Hockey League, beating Belfast Harlequins 3-2. Coach Dave Passmore admitted it was “a massive relief” to snatch the late winner given that they had conceded decisive scores in both of their ties since promotion to the top tier.

On Saturday, in the first of their double-header in Belfast, Insta were pushing for an equaliser against Pegasus but were caught by a final minute Alex Speers’ goal and fell to a defeat. A day later, Passmore was frustrated early on that his side could not make more of their chances as they fell behind to a Lucy Geddes’ strike.
