THE EY Hockey League returns to near full service, with a weekend of potentially season-defining fixtures on the schedule.
In the Women’s EYHL, Loreto will look to reassert themselves at the top of the table with a clash away to Portadown.
Ulster Elks host UCD in an all-university clash, with the former continuing their fight for survival while the latter aim to solidify second spot.
Old Alex take on in-form Pegasus on Saturday before travelling to Rosbrien on Sunday in two must-win games for the Dublin side.
In the Women’s EYHL2, Avoca face Ards in a potentially season-defining tie in Newpark, with the hosts looking to climb to top spot while visiting Ards hope to recover from their defeat last week.
Monkstown will aspire to do the same should results go their way when they host high-flying University of Galway. UCC take on Trinity Ladies in Santry in a battle of the students, as the visitors also target top spot.
Lisnagarvey host Ulster rivals Belfast Harlequins as they continue their quest for a first EYHL2 win. Belfast Harlequins and Trinity Ladies line out again on Sunday.
