Jermyn is men’s hockey player of year

CORK Church of Ireland’s John Jermyn has been named men’s hockey player of the year.

The goal machine was one of nine award winners honoured at the inaugural ESB Howard Holdings Irish Hockey Awards at the Mansion House on Saturday night.

Jermyn had an exceptional season for Ireland, not least in the BDO World Cup Qualifier and established himself as a consistent goal-scorer and attacking threat for his country.
