Quins can’t afford to slip up

CORK HARLEQUINS and UCC face season-defining clashes tomorrow as they bid to progress to the last four of the Irish Hockey League.

In Pool A, third-placed Quins know a win on the road at Ballymoney will put them right back in the mix for the second qualification spot.

Ballymoney have been something of a bogey team for Quins in recent seasons, particularly on home turf at the Joey Dunlop Centre, but Quins come into this clash with their tails up after wins over both UCC and Catholic Institute last weekend.
