QUEEN’S University produced a storming finish, coming from 2-0 down, to draw 2-2 in the battle of the newly promoted EY All Ireland hockey league sides and Edenvilla.
Late goals from Jodie Simmons and and Eva Gaston penalty corner cancelled out first half Portadown scores from Evie Girvan and Annie Gordon with Queen’s securing a bonus point from the shootout in the process.
Elsewhere, Loreto beat Pegasus at home to continue their perfect start to the campaign while Ulster Elks righted the ship to beat Catholic Institute in Rosbrien to climb out of the relegation zone.
Old Alex put four unanswered goals past UCD to record their first win of the campaign while Railway Union kept the gap between them and the top of the table to just three points with a comeback win over a spirited Pembroke Wanderers side.
