Report

Avoca ended the six-year reign of Belfast’s Team Kaliber in the Irish Indoor Club Championships at the Valley Leisure Centre in Newtownabbey over the St.. Patrick’s Weekend in 1987. Avoca only just managed to scrape into the Final on goal difference after losing their last Pool game 4-3 to Lisnagarvey. Team Kaliber, meanwhile, won their Pool comfortably with a 7-3 win over Tallaght side Glenanne and a 11-5 victory over Rathfarnham’s Three Rock Rovers.

The final itself was cracking, with Avoca marking tightly to prevent Team Kaliber going more than one goal ahead the entire match and even needing an equaliser to send the match into 20 minutes of extra-time at 4-4. Avoca twice came from a goal down in the extra period, with Nigel Kingston completing his hat-trick to win 8-7. Other goals for Avoca in the Final came from Watterson (2), Cullen, Richardson and Filgas.

Kenny Morris, named “Man of the Tournament”, was obviously disappointed not to win, as he scored 6 goals in the Final for Team Kaliber for a total of 15 in the tournament and 151 for the season. The match for third place ended 7-1 to Three Rock Rovers, with goals coming from Tully (2), Empey (2), Haughton (2) and Johnson.

Venue: Valley Leisure Centre, Newtownabbey, 13-15 March 1987

Report

Despite a strong start to the 1992 Women’s Home Countries Championship, Ireland Women were disappointed to finish runners-up. Ireland won 3-2 in their opening match with Wales and then drew 1-1 with England, leaving them top of the table going into the last day, needing only to match England’s result versus Wales in their own match with the previously pointless Scotland. However, not only did England trounce Wales 4-1, but Ireland lost 1-0 to Scotland, the only goal Scotland got in the Championship all weekend, leaving Ireland in second place, a very good performance, but disappointment after so much hope for the last day.

Report

Ireland opened the 1991 Hockey Home Countries Under 21 Championship with a 1-1 draw with Scotland, T Stronge scoring Ireland’s goal. The first match of the tournament had seen hosts Wales lose out 2-0 to England. England subsequently defeated Scotland 4-0 in the third match, which was followed by Ireland’s single goal victory over Wales, scored by D Gay. This left Ireland in second and needing a win over England to claim the title, however, a 1-1 draw, good at the best of times against England, left Ireland disappointed, the Irish goal again scored by D Gay. Wales finished off the tournament with a 3-2 win versus Scotland to finish third in front of the home crowd in Carmarthen, North Wales.
