Lisnagarvey ruling triggers series of hockey appeals

Banbridge and Loreto appeal with C of I monitoring outcomes

Lisnagarvey’s successful appeal over Hockey Ireland’s allocation of European places for next season could yet open the door for Cork C of I’s men to stake a claim for promotion to the top tier of the EY Hockey League.

The 2019/20 season was initially declared “null and void” by Hockey Ireland but Garvey – runaway leaders of the men’s competition – successfully argued that the Euro spot for 2021 should be determined by results on the pitch this year.
