EY HOCKEY LEAGUE – ROUND 11 LISNAGARVEY HC v BANBRIDGE HC Saturday 13th February 2016

On behalf of everyone at Lisnagarvey Hockey Club can I welcome the players and supporters of Banbridge Hockey Club to Comber Road for Round 11 of the 2015/16 EY Hockey League. I would like to thank the umpires and match officials, members of the press and of course to all our club members involved in the organisation of match days. Finally, I hope you all enjoy the game and I look forward to seeing you in the clubhouse afterwards for refreshments.

Mark Murray Chairman

Today, Banbridge are the visitors in the 11th round of the EY Hockey League and another tense encounter is in prospect. Banbridge, currently eight points behind leaders Garvey will be very keen to upset the home team’s unbeaten run, stretching back to the Monkstown defeat in October. The game should be another top quality affair with both sides packed with current Irish international and a close result is almost a certainty going on recent form. The last encounter between the two teams was extremely close with Garvey scraping home with a 2-1 win after a gripping match at Havelock Park. Match winners are abundant on both sides; Mikie Watt, Sean Murray and Timmy Cockram for Garvey while Banbridge always bring the threat of the Stephen Dowds at penalty corners, the Magee brothers, Eugene and Owen and Bruce McCandless.
