UCC enjoy a rare victory over Cork Harlequins
Phil Oakley’s students hadn’t won since the opening day of the season — against Greenfields, the only side below them in the table — but ex-Quins players Antonia McGrath and Claire O’Sullivan came back to haunt their former club.
Clodagh Moloney’s corner strike gave College a first-half lead and they survived long bouts of Quins pressure including six penalty corners before McGrath put the students two up. Yvonne O’Byrne pulled one back in the third quarter but O’Sullivan sealed it late on. It means Quins drop from third to fifth while UCC stay ninth, but have closed the gap with Ards, whose tie with Ulster Elks was postponed until the new year.
