Pembroke cruise past YM challenge

Mills Cup, quarter-final:
Pembroke 4 (Alan Sothern 2, Patrick Good, Gordy Elliott) YMCA 0
An awesome Pembroke opening salvo made a more than decent YMCA look decidedly average as their slick interplay saw them romp to a simple win at Serpentine Avenue tonight. They started without Ronan Gormley and Paddy Conlon, both in the Bahamas for former team-mate Ian Symons' wedding, but had David Harte in action. He was tested twice, once by David Robinson's deflection and then with an incredible double-save from Todd Gill's volley but, other than that, it was one-way traffic. Alan Sothern bagged a second-half double, a low corner strike and a sliding tip-in from Gordy Elliott's cross. Elliott opened the scoring with former YM-man Patrick Good netting soon after. They will now play the winners of the Rathfarnham derby between Corinthian and Three Rock in the semi-finals.

Anybody know how many goals Sothern's bagged, in all comps, so far this season??

What's the record for one season?? I remember Butler getting over 50 in a season a few years ago but reckon Sothern has to be on track to surpass that this season.

Great squad effort from Pembroke, looked strong and composed at the back and used the bench well!

Should be a cracking match now on Sat.

The only way teams will catch Glenanne or Pembroke is if these two teams get weaker. Not that they are getting stronger. Saw game last night. Pembroke way to strong.

Fox in the Box netted one hundred and seventy three goals a few years back. Its the most goals scored ever in the history of hockey ever.
