UCC hoping for more of the same at Institute

The Christmas and New Year break comes to an abrupt end for many of Munster hockey’s top stars with some vital leagues games down for decision tomorrow.

Rosbrien in Limerick will carry the most intrigue as UCC visit Catholic Institute, no doubt hoping for a repeat of their 3-0 win there last season.

At the time, Institute were Munster champions and UCC in an evolutionary stage, rendering the result a major surprise. But more is expected of the students now with many of their star players in their final college year, while Insta have gone the other direction with the average age of their side coming down significantly.
