CORK HARLEQUINS secured an Irish Senior Men’s Cup semi-final away to Kilkeel next weekend as two beautifully-executed Richard Gash goals gave them a deserved victory over old rivals Cork Church of Ireland at Farmers Cross on Saturday.

IRELAND’S senior men’s hockey squad face a demanding but exciting programme over the coming months in preparation for the World Cup Qualifying Tournament in Chanzhou, China, from March 12 to 23 next.

THE draw for the first round of the Irish Junior Cup pairs cup holders Lisnagarvey II and the 2002 winners Pembroke Wanderers in what should be the match of the round.
