Conor Harte to Win 200th Cap

Kinsale native Conor Harte is set to win his 200th cap this week as the Green Machine take on Pakistan in a three game series in Belfast. Conor started his hockey career in Bandon Grammar School and Cork Harlequins before a move to Dublin followed by a subsequent move to play professionally in Belgium. Conor will become the first Munster man to reach this milestone and still has plenty of years ahead of him at the top level. Well done from all at Munster Hockey.
