Hockey
Former Dalefield and Central Mavericks National League player Andy Ewington is being hailed as the "comeback kid" in Irish hockey circles.
Ewington was the toast of his Monkstown club last weekend after scoring two vital goals when they beat Three Rock Rovers 4-3 in the final of the Leinster Mills Cup senior competition.
Having scarcely played for Monkstown's first team in 2013 because of other commitments, Ewington was not expecting to be part of their line-up in the decider, but was called on by coach Graham Shaw after a spate of late injuries robbed his team of several key players.
The odds of a Monkstown victory did not look good, however, when Three Rock Rovers held a 3-1 lead with less than 30 minutes left to play.
