Dobson duo on the double as C of I batter Ballymoney

Family ties are hardly unusual in hockey but rarely is it a generational thing — unless you’re Joan and Emma Dobson.

Mother and daughter were both on the scoresheet for Cork Church of Ireland as they notched the result of a busy Irish Junior Cup second round weekend, a 4-0 demolition of Ballymoney at the north Antrim venue.

The Joey Dunlop Centre is famously a graveyard for southern teams but Sinead James got C of I motoring with a penalty stroke before the Dobson connection put them out of sight with a goal each, Emma Rumley adding gloss to the scoreline late on.
