While we might not have hockey games for another while yet, this weekend sees the Six Nations Championship kick off, so we will have some live sport on our screens this weekend! Enniscorthy Hockey Club are running a Club fundraiser, following the five weekends of the 6 Nations and a great prize for one lucky winner!

History made in Junior Jacqui Potter Plate triumph

17/3/2018

0 Comments

 
March 17th 2018 will go down in the annals of Irish rugby as the day the historic third men's Grand Slam was secured, but a small corner of Dublin will also hold a place in the record books for Enniscorthy Hockey Club following a Saint Patrick's Day triumph over Rathfarnham side Three Rock Rovers.

Grange Road hosted Leinster Hockey's final's day, and Enniscorthy's under 16 girls – managed by the quadruple of Alan Smith, Judith Dunne, Elaine Smith and Laura O'Leary – brought the club to the promised land of provincial success in the Junior Jacqui Potter Plate final with a 2-0 win over host side Three Rock Rovers.

After being knocked out by a silver-goal sucker punch against eventual runners-up Railway Union in the Junior Jacqui Potter Cup, the Bellefield Road side entered the plate competition. Clontarf, Wexford, Naas and Boyne all fell to Enniscorthy en route to Saturday's final, which – Naas in 2016 aside – had been won by Dublin clubs since the competition's inception in 2011.

Their focus on attacking had seen 18 goals being scored in previous rounds and the side – captained by Eabha Farrell – opted to replicate this in the final. A penalty corner was won within the first five minutes and a second eight minutes later gave Enniscorthy the lead, Rebecca Ogilvie pouncing from close range.

At the other end of the pitch, Rovers' tactic of playing their forwards high was negated by Enniscorthy's well-drilled defence, which had not conceeded in the Plate competition. Instead it was Enniscorthy who struck next.

The second goal of the afternoon was a team effort right from the training manual. Enniscorthy's midfield pushed the ball forward and wide, stretching the Rovers defence. Working her way in along the end line, Emer Doyle's ball back to the top of the host's circle found centre forward Farrell. The captain, in turn, picked out Hannah Sweeney and her reverse-stick shot doubled Enniscorthy's lead. Two- nil and the Wexford minnows had one hand on the trophy.

Amy Murphy and Caoimhe Larkin both had opportunities to stretch the Slaneysiders lead in the second half, Larkin's shot missing the left post by milimetres while Murphy just missed out a deflection from a Leah Kidd shot. With ten minutes remaining Three Rock earned a penalty corner of their own but to no avail, and Enniscorthy had created their own bit of history.

Squad: Norah McGinty, Laura Smith, Aoife Mahon, Beibhin O'Brien, Hannah Graham, Niamh Ogilvie, Ciara Kelly, Leah Kidd, Caoimhe Larkin, Eabha Farrell, Hannah Sweeney, Eimear Doyle, Rebecca Ogilvie, Amy Murphy, Ellen Rogan, Martha Dunne

U16 girls make Jacqui Potter Plate final

11/3/2018

0 Comments

 
Alan Smith's under 16 girls proved full value for their performance as they brushed aside Boyne on a 4-0 scoreline at Drogheda Grammar School on Sunday, and won a first ever appearance for the club in the Junior Jacqui Potter Cup Plate final.


Early pressure from the visitors produced a penalty flick which former Ireland trialist Laura Smith converted. At this stage the signs looked ominous for the Drogheda side as Enniscorthy attacked in waves, winning a succession of penalty corners amidst some dazzling passing play. However, some stout defending from Boyne's back line kept Enniscorthy from a second which they badly needed.


Boyne raised their performance levels following the half time break and Enniscorthy found themselves under pressure. Fourteen minutes into the second half, though, Niamh Ogilvie found the net after a penalty corner skirmish, and Enniscorthy almost extended their lead again just two minutes later when a penalty corner effort hit the post. A Laura Smith effort was then disallowed following consultations between the umpires.


Two quick-fire goals within six minutes of each other - from Leah Kidd and Emer Doyle - were enough to kill off the Boyne challenge, and Enniscorthy will play either Three Rock Rovers or YMCA in the final on Saint Patrick's Day at Grange Road in Rathfarnham.



Squad: Nora McGinty, Hannah Graham, Laura Smith, Aoife Mahon, Beibhin O'Brien, Leah Kidd, Ciara Kelly, Niamh Ogilvie, Rebecca Ogilvie, Eabha Farrell, Caoimhe Larkin, Martha Dunne, Ellen Rogan, Emer Doyle, Amy Murphy.

U14 boys make cup final

11/3/2018

0 Comments

 
The under 14 boys played two matches over the weekend, recording a draw and a win in three days. On Friday night the side travelled to Monkstown and recorded a 1-1 draw, meaning Kai Gahan's side won the Leinster under 14B South league. On Sunday the team returned to Dublin and defeated YMCA in the semi final of the Leinster under 14B Cup, with either Corinthians or Railway Union the opposition in the final. In a dramatic match, both sides were deadlocked at 0-0 following ordinary time and extra time, and penalty flicks were needed to seperate them. Ahead of the under 14C semi finals, Enniscorthy are the only non-Dublin club to reach an under 14 cup final this season, while the four under 14 leagues are similarly dominated by Dublin clubs, Bray and Enniscorthy setting the standard for the clubs outside the capital.
​

Squad: Adam Hill, Jack Tully, Mervyn Rogan, Brian Smith, Daniel Murphy, Marcus Wallace, Billy Walshe, Dylan Hendy, Evan Williamson, Niall Kehoe, Ben Redmond, Matthew Kelly.

Botanic win keeps L1 promotion hopes alive

10/3/2018

0 Comments

 
Enniscorthy Ladies first XI were away to Botanic II for Enniscorthy’s third last league match of the season, and came away with a vital 2-0 win.​

The visitors had a very slow start but a strong defensive line of Hannah Graham, Julie Watchorn, Laura Smith and Katie Owen defended well and were alert to the Glasnevin side's attempts on goal. Graham made a number of exceptional runs up the right line, allowing her defensive colleagues to distribute the ball to her into space. Botanic had two penalty corners in the first half but were both cleared by the defence.

The midfield line of Laura Bailey, Leah Chapman and Jessie Flood made a number of excellent passes into the forwards, one of which resulted in Olive Lett getting a shot on goal which was saved by the Botanic goalkeeper.

As the first half progressed Enniscorthy finally broke the deadlock. Bailey passed up the wing to Laura O’Leary, who found Anna Flood, and her reverse stick shot found the net.

As the second half commenced Enniscorthy really got into their stride, distributing the ball well throughout the pitch. The second goal of the game came from a series of sharp passes between the two Flood sisters, ending in a powerful shot by Jessie hitting the backboard. Botanic with fought back and and goalkeeper Alice Medcalf had to be alert when she spotted a 1v1 approaching and closed it down.

Enniscorthy kept pushing forward in attempt to score another goal – goal difference may yet prove decisive in the promotion battle- and another brilliant pass from Anna Flood into the circle to May Wickham resulted in Enniscorthys first attacking short corner of the game. Lett pushed the ball to Anna Flood at the top of the circle who attempted a direct shot on goal but was blocked by the Botanic defence.

With only two minutes left in the game Botanic pushed forward hoping to get a score, earning themselves a penalty corner. This was saved and cleared up the line by Medcalf, and Enniscorthy's clean sheet was preserved.

Enniscorthy have a break now before their next league encounter as they host Dublin side Genesis IV, provisionally pencilled in for April 7th at the Astro Active Centre.

Squad: Alice Medcalf, Julie Watchorn, Laura Smith, Hannah Graham, Katie Owen, Leah Chapman, Jessie Flood, Laura Bailey, May Wickham, Anna Flood, Laura O’Leary, Olive Lett. Coach: Donal Doyle
