Former Dalefield hockey player Andy Ewington has assumed cult status in Ireland.
Hard on the heels of scoring two vital goals for his Dublin club Monkstown in their Leinster Mills Cup final against Three Rock Rovers comes news that Monkstown now has another trophy in their cabinet, the Irish Senior Cup, and Ewington was again the toast of the after-match celebrations.
And you can wager that they lasted a long time since Monkstown were breaking a 99-year drought in the prestigious competition.
An Irish hockey website tells the story: "Such scripts would be rejected as preposterous by Hollywood studios but 99 years since their last Irish Senior Cup success, the title has returned to Monkstown in the most dramatic fashion.
