Crescent keep Mount Mercy waiting

LIMERICK hockey has gone from strength to strength in recent years, and Crescent College Comprehensive provided further proof of the Treaty city’s new prominence with a deserved Munster Senior Schoolgirls Cup final win yesterday.

With Catholic Institute on course to end Cork Harlequins’ 15-year monopolisation of the Munsterwomen’s league title and Limerick HC emerging as one of the country’s most progressive young clubs, women’s hockey is certainly flying in the city.

Ollie O’Connor’s Crescent are certainly doing their bit too,deservedly notching back-to-back wins in this competition.
