Teams of the decade: Picking Cork's best female and male hockey players

But when the World Keeper of the Year for two years in-a-row is from Cork then the Number 1 jersey has to go to David Harte.

Hobbs could change a game with one pass and rowed in with his fair share of goals as well.

In defence the likes of Cliodhna Sargent, Roisin Upton and Yvonne O’Byrne are all automatics.

Up front Karen Bateman (formerly O’Brien) leads the attack, the cry of OB, as she was known, was a regular occurrence for her club Harlequins and Ireland for many years.
