Hockey history at Harte with family Irish call-up

A LITTLE bit of hockey history will be made next month by three members of a Cork family.

Eighteen-year-old twin brothers, Conor and David Harte are part on the national senior men’s squad heading on a training camp to South Africa. Older sister Emer (23) will also be there — as part of the national senior women’s squad.

The Hartes’ father Kieran: “Emer, David and Conor have been exceptionally lucky to have met and been guided by so many talented coaches during their hockey careers, beginning with Bandon Grammar School through to their clubs and all the many coaches in the underage provincial and national teams. It shows how successful the coaching system within the IHA has been for young players.”
