WOMEN'S HOCKEY/Weekend preview: She's scored an important goal or two in her time but, for sheer drama, Mary Logue's equaliser against Loreto on Wednesday night, three minutes from the end of the title decider, would be hard to beat. The goal gave Hermes their third Leinster League title in a row, their fifth in six years, but they can hardly have had a more gratifying or hard-earned league success, considering the difficulties they faced this season.
