Frost curtailed the weekend’s Division One programmes but there were big wins for Cork Harlequins and Cork Church of Ireland.
Amy Roberts’ first-half double and one from Ali O’Regan had Cork C of I cruising in their delayed game against Limerick, moved to the top pitch at Garryduff.
Claire Hickey made it four before Jenni Lyttle pulled one back in smart fashion for the visitors, before Jen Barry’s short corner goal made it 5-1. Coyne twins Edel and Julie made their first appearances for the hosts since joining Rachel O’Hanlon in moving back to the Rochestown club from UCC.
Former international star Rachael Kohler rolled back the years with a hat-trick in Cork Harlequins’ 8-0 beating of an off-colour Fermoy.
The visitors survived a barrage of early short corners as they struggled with their outletting but once Quins broke the deadlock the result was never in doubt.
Kohler and Karen Bateman starred for a Quins side without Yvonne O’Byrne, Cliodhna Sargent and Abby Oakes amongst others but the pick of the goals came from Niamh O’Leary, a roofed deflection from a short corner.
Stephen Parker scored a hat-trick as Cork C of I strolled to a 7-0 win over their own second string.
