UCC out to book playoff ticket

While there are plenty of miles still to travel, UCC’s away day in Limerick looks a potential decider for the students in women’s Munster Division One when they meet Catholic Institute at 1pm at Rosbrien on Saturday.

Victory would extend Denis Pritchard’s side’s perfect record to eight wins from eight, five points clear having played their nearest rivals twice.

It would also assure – at the very least – a ticket to the EY Hockey League promotion playoffs. Miss out there, they will still take up a place in the inaugural Irish Hockey League Division 2 for 2018/19, something which Pritchard says is a positive step to closing the level between national and provincial leagues.
