Weekend hockey round-up… massive win in Limerick puts Pegasus back into All Ireland Play-off picture while Queen’s are back to back champions in Ulster League… results, scorers and standings 

Pegasus celebrate victory in Limerick

IN the Women’s EYHL, Old Alex held Loreto to a 2-2 draw, but the league champions secured the bonus point.

Pegasus produced the result of the round, beating Catholic Institute in Rosbrien to climb back into the Play-Off places. Ulster Elks held firm to secure a 1-0 win over Pembroke to jump to third spot. 

Railway Union closed out their league season by extending their unbeaten run to 12 with their win over UCD. And Ards ended their league campaign on a high with a win over UCC in an exceptional final battle in The Mardyke.

In the Women’s EYHL2 Play-Offs, Corinthian showed their quality to surpass Leinster rivals Muckross and set up a Semi-Final with Portadown. Monkstown continued their hopes of a return to the topflight with a win over Lurgan, setting up a Semi-Final of their own against Queen’s University.

In the Legacy Wealth Management Ulster League, Queen’s retained their title with a game to spare following a 2-1 win over Armagh.

Portadown did all was asked of them in a 6-0 win over Omagh but ran out of games and finish runners-up in a still superb showing by the Edenvilla side.
