Hockey: Catholic Institute open season with win as Cork teams refuse to travel to Dublin

The Limerick side were slow to start last term but this year, they hit the ground running

The three Cork sides will find out whether they face any sanction for not fielding later this week.

Catholic Institute landed their first win over UCD for at least 20 years to begin the women’s EY Hockey League with a bang at Rosbrien.

With Cork Harlequins, UCC and Cork C of I all refusing to travel to Dublin on Saturday due to Covid-19 concerns, they were the only Munster side to hit the turf on the opening day of the national leagues.
