Fermoy win to spark hopes of great escape

Fermoy have given themselves a fighting chance of avoiding relegation after claiming their first ever win in Munster hockey’s top tier.

Mark Egner’s charges endured a miserable season since earning promotion from Division 2, losing seven straight games and conceding 52 goals.

Saturday’s 4-3 success over Bandon has turned the heat up on UL, who have yet to pick up a point this season and have played two games more.
