A winning streak on Saturday for our mens sides in their games. The mens 1sts had a 5-1 win over UCD in the IHL to top the pool with two tough games remaining. Ross Canning was on the scoresheet twice, along with Johnny Bruton and a cracker from Jody Hosking. The 2nds recovered from their mid-week cup loss to Trinity, to beat YMs 2nds 3-1. Eoin Buttonshaw scored twice, along with Stephen Roberts to seal the win. The 3rds got back to winning ways as they won 5-2 against UCD, where Ryan Shirley scored twice, Stu Rigy Jones, Findo and Sean Foudy the other scorers. The 4ths also won against YM, beating them 4-1 with a stand out goal from Louis Glass, along with G Dowling, Davie Sterrit, and Cameron Ruttle. On Sunday, the mens 3rds dropped out of the Cup after a 1-0 loss to Rather. The 5th however, made it to the semi finals after a 3-1 win over Bray!
On the ladies side the ladies 1sts had a good 5-0 win over Glenanne in the cup to set up a next round tie with Pembroke. Leading 4-0 at half time, the girls won with goals from Angharad (x2), Steph Baxter, Grace and Meabh Holden. The ladies 2nds had a tough 3-0 loss to Rathgar, while the 3s suffered a very tight 2-1 loss to UCD. The 4ths were knocked out of the cup after a 4-1 loss away to Wicklow.
