UCD pulled off the big result of the round, winning on the eighth round of penalty strokes against Hermes with Roisin Flinn heroically shook off a nasty jaw injury to score the decisive stroke.Flinn thought she had put UCD on the verge of the second round when she netted with their fifth stroke but her effort was disallowed due to taking the stroke before the whistle was blown.
Jenny Kinch, however, could not capitalise with Grace O'Flanagan producing a great stick-save and Flinn was given her chance at redemption.
Earlier, Hermes had taken a first-half lead after Nikki Evans evaded three tackles to set up Christine Quinlan to slam home. UCD levelled from a slip left with Holly Jenkinson. Both sides had their chances to nab the win while Lisa Jacob picked up her second yellow in the week to add to the tension in extra-time.
Railway had much the better of their tie with UCC in front of the watching Gene Muller at the Mardyke. Kate McKenna gave the Park Avenue side the lead at the second attempt after she missed an initial opportunity, created by Jean McDonnell after she robbed Eibhlin O'Donoghue.UCC had a golden chance to level when Hollie Moffett fed O'Donoghue. She looked to have rounded Helen Stevenson but went to ground under duress and the chance was gone.
McDonnell soon after added a stunning strike, smashing home Emma Smyth's pass to make it 2-0 and Emer Dillon got the third to seal an impressive win. Joy was doubled up as Kate Dillon got the only goal in the Irish Junior Cup match between the same sides.

I thought you no longer waited for the whhistle when taking strokes..??
CHC won 3-2 in normal time!
In a shoot-out, if a stroke is taken before the wistle it is simply re-taken.
If it was a stroke during normal time and this occured it is not re-taken and a 16 yard hit is awarded.
The umpire no longer asks each player if they are ready, but simply blows the whistle to signify the stroke can be made.
see rule 13.5 h you must wait till the whistle is blown.
Watched the Hermes vs. UCD match (normally would watch mens hockey). Enjoyed the game, both teams worked hard and some good play. Hermes had some good chances but were poor in front of goal.UCD threatened to break away at times,looked fast upfront(wasn't helped when Hermes went down to 10 due to indiscipline). All in all enjoyed watching the match.
p.s.think the first comment was meant to refer to the umpire not asking the striker or keeper if they are ready-there has to be a whistle to indicate when the stroke has to take place.
Result Up North Today Randelstown beat Cookstown 5-1
I also watched the UCD Hermes game. I thought the flick by Roisin Flinn should have been retaken. She moved before the whistle but did not touch the ball. So I am not sure why it was disallowed. All players seemed to be asked if the were ready before the umpire blew the whistle which I thought was no longer the rule also.
