MEN'S HOCKEY/All-Ireland Club C'ship: Lisnagarvey duly emerged as the most complete team of the tournament to win the All-Ireland championship for the fifth time at Garryduff, Cork, yesterday and, in achieving the league and cup double, for the third occasion, allowed Instonians to join them in European circles next year.

Finishing the tournament with a 4-0 defeat of Aer Lingus, there was the formality of Lisnagarvey awaiting the outcome of the final game in which their closest challengers, Annadale, needed to beat Cork Harlequins by a five-goal margin. But this proved well out of reach for the Ulster champions as Harlequins earned a 2-2 draw to restore substantial pride to Munster hockey.

Initially, Annadale attacked with thoughts of scoring heavily; but with John Hobbs setting a defiant example in the home defence, a goal was conceded only to Ian Hamilton six minutes before the interval. Annadale, with Andrew McBride to the fore, launched another offensive at the start of the second half; but found Wesley Bateman in top international form between the Harlequins posts.

Then David Eakins not only broke away to steal an equaliser; but he was up in support of Richie Gash to lash home a second goal in the last minute. Annadale, however, forced a short corner in the final seconds for Hamilton to leave it all square.

Earlier, Lisnagarvey's rich resources left Aer Lingus with little hope of containment, especially without the pivotal Derek O'Gorman who had to quit the tournament because of exams. Ivan Steen opened the scoring before Kevin Lunn swooped to put his side two-up, followed by a short-corner conversion by Tim Cockram, to make it 3-0 at the interval.

Aer Lingus were not going to be overwhelmed, however, and with Nigel Grothier (goalkeeper of the tournament) and Ken Treacy vigilant, it was only in the last minute Mark Raphael set up Mark Tomilty for Lisnagarvey's fourth goal.

There was the occasional threat of an Aer Lingus reply, but Errol Lutton, the Lisnagarvey captain, remained imperturbable, notably in keeping David Bane at bay. So, the trophy goes back to Lisburn for the first time since 1997, and Brian Waring, one of the survivors of that successful side, was voted player of the tournament.
