A round-robin tournament will be staged between Ashton, Bandon, Belvedere, Catholic Institute, UL and UCC on weekends that Cork Church of Ireland and Cork Harlequins are in action in the inaugural Irish Hockey League.

The competition has been introduced to ensure the five clubs aren’t left with no games while Quins and C of I are in action in the IHL on October 18, November 29, January 31, March 7 and April 4.

It is understood the Cork Examiner Trophy, which was awarded to the winner of a season-opening one-day tournament up until the late 1990s, will be dusted off and revived for the new competition.
