HOCKEY:IN WHAT will be a repeat of the 2009 final, UCD and Pegasus will meet in the quarter-finals of the Irish Senior Cup after they beat the Munster and Ulster champions, respectively, in Saturday's second round.
Old Alexandra will host Loreto after their surprise extra-time win over Hermes, with Armagh drawn at home to Railway Union and Trinity paired with Queens.
Having been pegged back to 2-2, after taking an early 2-0 lead, UCD survived Catholic Institute’s fightback in Limerick to win 4-2, Caroline Hill scoring twice.
Emma Russell was the star of the day for Alexandra, equalising against her former club Hermes to take the game in to extra-time, and then scoring the golden goal winner to clinch the tie.
Eanna Horan’s double also proved decisive as her club, Trinity defeated Corinthian 2-1.
Loreto, meanwhile, kept up their winning streak with a 3-1 victory away to Belfast Harlequins, but there was no joy for another Leinster club who had to travel north, Glenanne suffering a 7-0 drubbing at the hands of Armagh.
Railway went one goal better against Lurgan, Alex Speers and Jean McDonnell scoring two apiece in an 8-2 win, while Pegasus and Queens comfortably came through their all-Ulster ties.
The cup holders beat Ballymoney, who deposed them as Ulster champions last season, 3-0, with Joanne Orr scoring four in Queens’ 5-0 defeat of Portadown.
