Harlequins prevail after thriller to leave Kingston ‘very proud’

AFTER a week in which they created a huge number of chances, though failing to take most of them, Cork Harlequins finally hit top gear in Prague yesterday when they put on their best scoring display of the week to secure promotion for Ireland in the European Clubs Championships.

After a thrilling 3-3 draw with Ukraine Cup winners Kolos Sakvoia, the Cork side eventually won 4-1 on penalty stokes and their victory means that this year’s Irish Cup winners Glenanne now play in the ‘A’ division next year.

It was, according to Quins manager Donal Kingston, the best performance of the week by the team and it needed to be because the Ukrainians were the best team they came up against.
