Recap 2018-19

Cork Underwater Hockey were paired with UL (University of Limerick) in order to compete in the 2018-19 Irish Underwater Hockey League. The Cork team, which has been in existence since at least December 2015, did well to defeat Queen’s University / Belfast in the First round and draw with Dublin Otters, an exceptionally good result for Cork. However two losses to DCU / Vikings and UCD Krakens (both by a 1-0 margin) left them in fourth place after Round 1. In Round 2 Cork / UL again defeated Belfast, but lost 0-3 to Otters and lost again to DCU / Vikings, but managed to win their final game versus UCD setting up a rivalry for third place with the Krakens. In round 3 Cork / UL again defeated Belfast and UCD but lost to DCU and Otters. The fourth round was hampered by the withdrawal of Otters and Belfast, but Cork / UL finished in third place thanks to a 2-2 draw with UCD Krakens, thus finishing a point above the Dublin University.
