Quins and C of I bid to keep derby cup final dream alive

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.

Quins and C of I bid to keep derby cup final dream alive

Neither side will have it easy, however, with C of I travelling to Dublin to play Pembroke Wanderers while Harlequins have a home tie against Banbridge — a side with whom they feel they have a score to settle.

The tie at Dublin’s Serpentine Avenue will see C of I field a side bolstered by such experienced players as the Dunne brothers, Trevor and Ali, as well as Richie Dorman, but they will be up against very tough opposition in Pembroke, who are currently tied with Three Rock at the top of the Leinster Senior League Division 3.
