ON Saturday in the Women’s EYHL, another relegation battle grabs the headlines as Ulster Elks look to climb the table towards the play-off places when they host tenth-placed Pembroke Wanderers, who need to secure points to bolster their survival hopes.
Catholic Institute host Pegasus, with the former looking to potentially widen the gap between themselves and the bottom two, while the latter targets a return to winning ways after defeat last weekend.
Portadown travel south in the hope of causing an upset against second-placed Railway Union and keeping their pursuit of a play-off place alive. UCD host champions Loreto as they aim to lock down third spot in the standings.
In the Women’s EYHL2, the penultimate round of fixtures sees Ards and UCC go head-to-head in a potentially crucial meeting for two promotion hopefuls.
Current league leaders Avoca will hope to claim a fifth win from seven as they travel to ninth-placed Lisnagarvey. Monkstown make the trip to face Cork Harlequins as they look to keep pace with the top three and potentially move into the promotion places.
University of Galway welcome Belfast Harlequins to Dangan.
