C of I and Quins record vital victories to boost League play-off hopes

CORK C of I and Harlequins both picked up significant victories in their respective bids to become the first Munster sides to reach the men’s Irish Hockey League play-offs last Saturday on home soil.

C of I move into a three-way share of second place going into the three-month break before the penultimate round of matches following their 2-1 win over YMCA.

Gary Wilkinson’s early strike put them in the ascendancy before David Robinson levelled matters from a series of penalty corners.
