IN the Women’s EYHL, Catholic Institute grabbed a drawing bonus point away from home, with Naomi Carroll marking her return with two goals against Loreto. Railway Union made no mistake against Old Alex, scoring six goals and closing the gap to top spot ever so slightly. And Jenny McCarlie of Queen’s scored in the dying embers of the game to start 2026 with a ban, beating UCD 1-0.
the Women’s EYHL2, Ards put University of Galway to the sword, while UCC put four past Belfast Harlequins as both former EYHL1 sides made strong starts. Avoca returned home from their trip south with a hard-earned win over Cork Harlequins. And Monkstown had to settle for a bonus point draw at home, with Trinity grabbing a second half-goal against their Leinster Rivals, seeing the game end 1-1.
