UCC on the ‘Money to keep IHL hopes alive

UCC provided the sole bright note for Munster sides in the Irish Hockey League, winning 2-0 against Ballymoney to get their campaign back on track.

Second-half goals from Ciara Sexton and Amy-Kate Trevor gave Phil Oakley’s ever-improving students a memorable victory, and keep alive their outside hopes of a semi-final berth.

There was no such joy for Cork Harlequins, as they felt the full brunt of a UCD backlash, the Munster kingpins going down 6-1 to the national champions.
