Cork Harlequins super showing

Cork Harlequins ladies produced one of their best performances of a rollercoaster EY Hockey League campaign to trounce Pembroke Wanderers 5-1 on Saturday.

Five players got on the scoresheet with four goals coming in a 16-minute blitz to move Quins to fifth — within striking distance of Railway Union in second.

Hermes dropped points for the first time in 13 games as Pegasus held them to a 3-3 draw in Belfast, while UCC were thrashed 7-0 by a rejuvenated Ulster Elks on Saturday before going down 3-1 to UCD on Sunday, both at home.
