‘JJ United’ more than a one-man team

Cork Church of Ireland will be keen to show they’re more than a one-man team as they look to stay top of the EY Hockey League with victory over Annadale at Garryduff on Sunday (2pm).

Two John Jermyn hat-tricks in victories over Cookstown (4-1) and Glenanne (4-2) have led to rumbles of an international recall for Ireland’s top goalscorer of all time. He hasn’t featured in green since 2012.

The club have poked fun at any suggestions they may be over-reliant on their talisman, calling themselves “JJ United” in their tongue-in-cheek weekly bulletins on social media.
