Cork Harlequins showing early season intent with another win

Cork Harlequins are emerging as the primary challengers to Hermes-Monkstown in the women’s EY Hockey League after notching a third successive win on the road.

Stephen Dale’s star-studded side came from 2-1 down to beat Pembroke Wanderers 4-2, with three of the goals coming from new recruits and Ireland underage internationals Michelle Barry (2) and Caoimhe Perdue.

Anna O’Flanagan’s late strike - her 10th in three games - gave Hermes-Monkstown a 1-0 win over Pegasus in a repeat of last year’s decider, and they and Quins are the only sides left with 100% records.
