Pegasus march on as Quins bow out

PEGASUS’ love affair with the women’s ESB Irish Senior Cup continued as they moved ominously into the quarter-finals after seeing off Loreto 2-0 at Queens University on Saturday.

While Leinster’s big three of Hermes, Loreto and Railway Union all have a phalanx of Irish internationals at their disposal for big cup games, Pegs have routinely shown the benefit of having a more settled side.

Vanessa Surgeoner and Kate McConnell got the all-important goals, and with Pegs — winners in 2004, 2007 and 2008 — having already eliminated Railway as well, they are now competition favourites along with Hermes.
