Munster Cup glory at last for Institute

THE 21-year wait for women’s Munster Senior Cup glory is over for Catholic Institute, who left it late to eventually see off Cork Harlequins 5-2 in an entertaining final at Garryduff on Saturday.

Elaine Bromell lashed home a corner on 20 minutes and a diving Kym Daly connected with Rosie Pratt’s cross 90 seconds later to seemingly put Institute in control, but Quins rallied after the break.

Johanna Hyland beat Ciara Ronan down her left-hand side with an improvised short corner strike of real quality, before Rachel McSharry did likewise with a swept effort two minutes later to suddenly haul Quins level.
