Sunday, November 2: The shock results continued into the second day of the double-weekend of the EYHL as a new crop of sides broke into the top four.
In the Women’s EYHL, Catholic Institute inflicted a second loss of the weekend on Railway Union, picking up crucial points in their bid for survival while also allowing Loreto to extend their lead at the top of the table following their win away to Ulster Elks. UCD made it a second win from two of the weekend with their victory over Pegasus to climb into third thanks to a Pembroke win over Queen’s University. Portadown held out to beat Old Alex in Edenvilla to remain within a point of the EY Champions Trophy places.
In the Men’s EYHL, Lisnagarvey came from behind twice to beat YMCA and stay in pursuit of the title. Three Rock Rovers recovered from their loss yesterday to edge Pembroke by a single goal to climb into the top four. Monkstown made no mistake at home to Cork C of I to take third in the table. Cookstown grabbed a drawing bonus point on the road against Corinthian to added two crucial points to their tally. And Banbridge did enough to extend their unbeaten run to nine games against a stubborn Avoca side.
