ENNIS HOCKEY club has achieved a major milestone by booking its place in the Munster Cup U16 girls final for the very first time.
On Saturday, Ennis Hockey Club clashed with Cork C of I Hockey Club in the Munster U16 semi-final. It was a battle of two evenly matched sides but Ennis emerged victorious with scores in both the first and second quarters. Goals from short corners was central to the success.
Due to the absence of a dedicated hockey pitch in Clare, Ennis have to play their home ties in Limerick but it didn’t deter them.
Anticipation for the final due to be held on March 17th is now building among players, coaches and supporters.
Andrew Osak of Ennis Hockey Club told The Clare Echo, “While we celebrate this historic achievement, we also acknowledge the need for a dedicated hockey pitch in Clare. Such a facility would provide our talented members with the resources and infrastructure needed to fully realize their potential and follow in the footsteps of this remarkable journey to the Munster Cup final.
“As Ennis Hockey Club prepares to make history once again, we extend our gratitude to our dedicated players, coaches, volunteers, and supporters who have made this journey possible. Regardless of the outcome, our collective spirit and determination will continue to propel us forward, as we strive for excellence on and off the field”.
