Simon Todd’s superb last gasp equaliser against Munster, saved Ulster from an Inter-pro whitewash, securing only one point on the way.But, it was a disappointing tournament all-round for Ulster, who were going for a hat-trick of wins in both the Ulster Senior and Under 21 tourneys, to hand the titles to Leinster.Both sides were outplayed in their opening game by hosts Leinster, the seniors going

By David AgnewSenior One NICS hammered Portadown 7-0 on Saturday, South powered past Ville 6-0 and Harlequins thrashed Down 6-1 – none of those results were unexpected but Armagh’s 1-1 draw with Antrim was certainly a surprise but credit must go to Robbie McMinns men: A point won or 2 points lost that was the talk going around Ardmore after the City Side played hosts to second in the table Antrim

By David AgnewSenior One Once again the focus this weekend in Senior One is on Kirk Cup places as QUB, Armagh and Portadown all battle it out for the last remaining spot in next season’s elite cup competition. Most neutrals will say that Portadown have little chance of adding to their points tally with a buoyant NICS due for a visit to Edenvilla on Saturday in the Ports last remaining fixture.

Ulster Hockey’s Kirk Cup final has changed date for an unbelievable fifth time.The prestigious final between Banbridge and Cookstown, which is normally played on Boxing Day, will now move, for the fifth time of asking, to Sunday 25th April. However, the venue is yet to be decided as Lisnagarvey Hockey Club is unavailable.“It is regrettable that we have had to change the date yet again,”explained

William Edgar’s name wasn’t listed in the match programme, but his stunning third senior goal for Annadale, ensured his name would be remembered.Edgar, who celebrated his 18th birthday last week with twin brother John , produced an outstanding all-round performance, which helped keep Annadale in the title hunt.He had, at times, the Comber sides defence at sixes and sevens, and if it wasn’t for

By David AgnewSenior OneDownpatrick were unable to field a team against Portadown on Saturday so the Ports will be awarded another three points which will keep them in contention for a Kirk Cup place as Armagh were beaten 4-0 by Antrim. QUB though have an outside chance of nipping into that Kirk Cup place following their 3-1 victory over Cliftonville. It should have been so very different as

Senior One Just three fixtures take place in Senior One this weekend and it’s the race for the last Kirk Cup place which takes centre stage. Down are facing up to the prospect of Senior Two hockey again next season but they will travel to Edenvilla determined to prove a point. Their hosts Portadown had been on something of a good run until they slipped up against QUB last time out so this game

The ONE 1918 Premiership was blown wide open, after leaders Cookstown lost to Banbridge and Annadale inflicted a 4-1 defeat on Lisnagarvey.It promises to be one of the tightest run-ins to the end of the season, and with Instonians winning at Raphoe, the title could go to any one of four teams.Two goals a-piece from Peter Caruth and Conor Allison saw Annadale come from behind to stun Lisnagarvey,

Aaron Gill bagged another hat-trick and took centre stage with a stunning display paving the way for Posnett (2), Johnston (2), R Anderson, J Anderson and Towe to add to their own goal tallies for 09/10.

By David AgnewSenior OneMatch of the Day in Senior One this weekend is South Antrim versus Harlequins at Laurelhill with both teams capable of flowing attacking hockey on their day. South will go in as favourites given their impressive season so far but Quins are on the up and will pose a real threat as South aim to secure their top three finish. Staying at the top end of the table, Antrim host

Bathed in glorious spring-like conditions, in front of a large crowd, South Antrim retained the One1918 Linden Cup, defeating Armagh 4-1 on penalty strokes.Ulster Union officials could only be impressed by the huge turn-out, and it must give them food for thought when to play next year’s final, and possibly move away from the traditional New Year’s Day date.It was a repeat of last season’s final,

One of Irish Hockey’s major cup competitions descended into complete farce on Friday when reigning champions Campbellians sensationally withdrew from the 2010 Mens Irish Hockey Challenge at the Semi-Final stage. Drawn against Leinster club St Brendans in Saturday’s planned Semi-Final, it was anticipated that the match would be played on St Brendan’s regular (synthetic) Home surface at
