UCC Hockey Club Weekly Round-Up
Last weekend saw five of our teams in action, with some fantastic performances across the board!
Women’s Teams
- Division 1: Our top-tier women’s team battled hard against Crescent at home, securing a narrow 1-0 victory thanks to a superb goal from Lauren Cripps—the only goal of the game! This win keeps UCC at the top of the league with full points. Next up: a crucial away fixture against Waterford this Saturday, their penultimate game before the Christmas break.
- Division 2: Continuing their dominance, the Div 2 women stormed to an 8-0 win over Cork Wanderers. They now head into the Christmas break on a high and will return in the new year ready to build on this momentum.
- Division 3A: A comprehensive 4-0 victory over Bandon sees this team leading the table. However, Limerick HC are close behind, making this Sunday’s away clash in Limerick a pivotal game for the league title race.
- Division 3B: Despite recent struggles with numbers, the team fought hard for a 1-1 draw in Tipperary with only 11 players travelling—a fantastic result under the circumstances! They currently sit second from the bottom, and next Sunday’s match against Bandon away will be vital to secure points and maintain Division 3 status.
- Division 7: After a weekend off, Div 7 return to action this Saturday at the Mardyke against Nenagh. Having lost narrowly to Nenagh earlier in the season, this game will be a true measure of their progress so far.
Men’s Team
Our men’s team delivered a commanding 9-1 win against Nenagh. After a shaky start, they found their rhythm with smart passing and clinical finishing. Next up: Waterford at home in the Mardyke this Saturday at 1:30 PM. The team is determined to keep building and secure a Division 2 spot for January.
