Connacht ladies sparkle as Munster men stay on course

MUNSTER revived their hopes of retaining the men’s hockey Interprovincial Championship by beating Ulster at Harlequins Park yesterday but it was Connacht ladies who commanded the spotlight.

Connacht surprised Ulster as they shared four goals in a game of high excitement. Their achievement, coupled with a draw also in the match between Munster and Leinster, ensured a highly competitive finish to the ladies competition.

Munster’s win over Ulster in the men’s championship was founded upon good technique and smooth teamwork. They capitalised upon their confident opening salvo with a goal after 20 minutes.
