Harlequins hoping experience will see them through

CORK HARLEQUINS will take encouragement from their more impressive recent record in the Irish Senior Cup when they face Pegasus in the women’s hockey semi-final at the Queens University ground in Belfast tomorrow (1pm).

Harlequins won this Cup in 2000 and lost last season’s final narrowly while Pegasus have been going through a barren period. Pegasus last won in 1998 and their losing run since was something of an unusual experience for a club long used to success.

Harlequins reached the finals of both men’s and ladies’ cup competitions last season and lost both. Their ladies will be hoping to take the first step towards helping the club improve on that by again reaching the final and last season’s experience represents a huge incentive.
