Momentum and must-win clashes define another big weekend for Ulster sides in the EY Hockey League… all the fixtures, venues and match times as Garvey make EYHL2 debut

Lisnagarvey make their EYHL2 debut against UCC

THE EY Hockey League Division 1 and  2 battles continue into February, with sides looking to build on their performances last weekend. 

In the Women’s EYHL, Ulster Elks host Catholic Institute in Jordanstown in a must win game for both sides as they continue to try find a way out of the relegation zone. And UCD will look to bounce back from their loss last week as they host Old Alex. 

Railway Union will look to build on their winning start to 2026 as they face Pembroke Wanderers at Serpentine Avenue, while the hosts will hope to cause an upset that could carry them back into play-off contention.

In the Women’s EYHL2, Lisnagarvey make their debut as they travel south to face in-form UCC.

Trinity Ladies’ will hope to cause another provincial upset when they host Avoca. Belfast Harlequins and Ards go head-to-head in an all-Ulster clash, with the latter aiming to make it two wins from two. 

And both University of Galway and Cork Harlequins will hope to recover from their Round 1 losses when they meet in Dangan.
