Title now in sight as Quins edge out C of I
Cregan, who had yet to play in 2009 due to a persistent foot injury, claimed one of three short corner deflections — Hilary Chapple and Karen Bateman grabbed the others — to send Quins into a 3-0 lead by the 51st minute.
A pair of rockets from Michaela Mihailou and Mel Ryan gave C of I hope, but it wasn’t enough for the hosts, who are now out of the title race. Second-placed UCC can still force a title play-off, provided they defeat struggling Belvedere tomorrow night and then beat Quins in their own backyard on April 7.
