Friends reunited as new Ulster recruit Lynch set to face Munster

JASON LYNCH faces the novel prospect of lining out against former colleagues on his old stomping ground for the second time in a week, as he prepares to don the colours of Ulster at the senior hockey interprovincials at Garryduff in Cork this weekend.

Midfielder Lynch, who won his first Irish senior cap against France last summer, currently plays for Lisnagarvey, whom he joined from hometown club Cork C of I in 2007 upon entering Belfast Metropolitan College.

While Lynch turned out for Munster at both senior and U21 level last term, college commitments have led him to throw his hat in with Ulster this time around.
