About Us
Hockey Season 2007/2008
1st Team - The 1st team succeeded in their major objective by qualifying for the inaugural Irish Hockey League (IHL) which begins in 2008/2009. On the local front we finished as runners up to CofI in both the Munster Senior League and Cup. The team won the Peard Cup for the first time in a few seasons. At national level we were beaten by Lisnagarvey in the Irish Senior Cup quarter finals and in spite of very good performances in the Club Championships group stage we failed to make it to the semi finals.
2nd Team – The 2nd team showed up well in the Munster Senior League and again finished in the top 5. The team suffered a very unfortunate defeat on strokes to CoI 2nds in the Munster Junior Cup Final and bowed out in the early stages of the Irish Junior Cup.
3rd Team – The 3rd team consolidated their position in the 2nd Division and were very consistent throughout the season. A number of younger players established themselves on the team this season.
4th Team – Made up of mostly younger players this team had another very good season. They were coached superbly by Philip White throughout the season.
5th Team – Captained by Fitz Allen this team had a fantastic season and capped it off by winning the 4th Division League and Cup double.
Hockey Season 2006/2007
1st Team - The first team created history winning the European Cup Winners Trophy in Prague at Easter. In their 4th EHF tournament Quins won the final beating the Ukrainian side Kolos Sekvoia 4-1 in a penalty shoot out after the match finished in a 3 all draw. On the domestic front it was a case of so close yet so far – Quins were beaten in the Club Championships final, the Irish Senior Cup semi-final & finished runners-up in the Munster Senior League & Cup.
