Pegasus goal celebration

PEGASUS and Queen’s secured their first wins of the new season in the opening encounters of a weekend of double-game action in the Women’s EYHL.

Old Alex and Pembroke Wanderers kicked off the weekend with a Friday night encounter, with Pembroke equalising in the dying moments and going on to win the bonus point shootout.

On Saturday, Pegasus put four past Ulster Elks to secure their first win of the season and leave the Uni side winless after two heavy defeats.

Loreto overcame Railway Union to take a big early step towards retaining their title.

Portadown left it late to grab a 1-1 draw against UCD in Belfield, with UCD taking the bonus point in the shootout. And Queen’s University beat Catholic Institute to record their first win of the campaign.
