The Incorporated Church of Ireland Cork Young Men’s Association (ICICYMA) at Garryduff Sports Centre, Cork has honoured one of the most distinguished of their hockey players, John Jermyn, Jnr., with honorary life membership.

The award was made recently as a mark of Church of Ireland Hockey Club’s esteem for John, for his contribution to the Club, all that he has achieved as a hockey player and as an Irish international, including participation in the 2016 Rio Olympics. Leaving aside all that he has achieved with his club and province, John has 178 caps playing for Ireland, in which context alone he has scored 92 goals. The President of the Club, Mervyn Kerr, made the presentation in the Club House at Garryduff, Rochestown, Cork, in the presence of John’s family and a large gathering of members and friends.
