Peard Cup final: UCC 4 - Cork C of I ‘B’ 3

A PLAYER eligibility issue involving defending Irish Senior Cup champions Pembroke Wanderers threatens to overshadow the Dubliners’ quest to retain the trophy when they lock horns with Cookstown at Belfield on Sunday (1.15).

IRISH international captain Eimear Cregan made a goalscoring return to the colours of Cork Harlequins as they moved into pole position to close on a 14th consecutive women’s Munster Senior League title with a 3-2 win over Cork C of I at Garryduff on Saturday.

IN THE HOPE of an all-Cork clash in the final of hockey’s Irish Junior Cup, arch rivals Cork Harlequins and Cork Church of Ireland will be rooting for each other this weekend as they contest separate semi-finals of the competition.
