Report

Day 1 (21 September 2019)

Corinthian 2 (J Perdue 2) Annadale 2 (S Cox, R Burgess)

Corinthian managed a draw with Annadale in their EYHL debut at Whitechurch Park. Annadale went in front 5 minutes before the break as Simon Cox clipped in a nice finish to a move which started up to the right baseline before being flipped across to his path. Jack Perdue equalised for the newcomers just after halftime and put Corinthian ahead in the fourth quarter before Ryan Burgess netted a penalty corner with 6 minutes left to leave the match level at the finish [3]

YMCA 2 (T Brophy, H Carthy) Glenanne 3 (S Brownlow, S Boucher, B Venter)

Glenanne opened and finished the scoring at Wesley College to take the win. Brad Venter put them in front after they had the better start with a shot on his back foot, and they went two up just after halftime as Shannon Boucher netted a drag-flick. YMCA got a goal back as Tom Brophy (newly arrived from Cork) snuck the ball over the line and another new arrival from Munster (Waterford), Harry Carthy slammed the ball into the net from a crashing Grant Glutz pass into the area, with two minutes left. Glenanne had the final word, however, as Stephen Brownlow scored with a cracking strike with last touch of the game. [3]

Lisnagarvey 6 (J Lorimer 3, D Nelson, B Nelson, T Chambers) Pembroke Wanderers 0

Lisnagarvey made an impressive start to their defense of the Regulation Season Championship as they converted 3 of their 4 penalty corners, while Pembroke Wanderers managed none from the same number. Lisnargavey opened the scoring after 7 minutes as Dan Nelson smashed in a great shot from 10 metres out after a move that started down the left. His brother Ben doubled the lead in the 21st minute as he put a pass from Dan into the far corner of the net. Pembroke had a spell of pressure around the half-hour mark, and James Milliken produced three great saves in the Lisnagarvey goal. James Lorimer scored a penalty corner hat-trick between the 33rd and 51st minutes to put the game beyond doubt, and with 17 minutes to go Troy Chambers added a sixth from close range. [3]

Monkstown 2 (G Cole 2) Banbridge 2 (C Curry, B McCandless)

The game ebbed and flowed with goalmouth scrambles at both ends before the deadlock was broken in the 34th Minute as Jonny McKee created a chance wrapping the ball around the back post where Chris Curry was waiting to turn it in, putting Banbridge one up. Monkstown were level four minutes after the restart as Nick Dee provided a pass for Geoff Cole to fire into the backboard. He added a second in the 47th minute as he deflected a Davy Carson pass from the endline. Banbridge equalised with 13 munites to go as Bruce McCandless turned in a rebound from a David Fitzgerald save. Banbridge were soon down to nine men after two players were yellow carded but Monkstown failed to take advantage, and the game finished two-apiece. [3]

Three Rock Rovers 1 (B Walker) UCD 3 (C Empey, J Henry, G Sarratt)

UCD were impressive winners over reigning Champions Trophy winners Three Rock Rovers at Grange Road, Rathfarnham. The newly promoted side opening the account as Conor Empey netted from close range, one of 5 former Three Rock players in the UCD side. Three Rock Rovers equalised through Ben Walker in the second quarter, but the second half was all UCD as they pulled away. Jazze Henry scored a cracking reverse stick shot in the 38th minute, and with 24 munites left Guy Sarratt made it 3-1, scoring with a drag-flick shot into the roof of the net. UCD were in control after that, and the game ended 3-1 to the students. [3]

Day 2 (28 September 2019)

Annadale 1 (C Tremlett) Lisnagarvey 10 (D Nelson 3, A Williamson 3, B Nelson 2, T Chambers, O Kidd)

Lisnagarvey went 2-0 up within 6 minutes as they recorded their second massive win in as many weeks. Daniel Nelson got a deft touch to a Jonny Bell ball into the circle, the lead doubled by an Andy Williams penalty corner. It was 3-0 by the end of the first quarter, Tony Chambers scoring with a driving run and reverse-stick shot. Williamson got another penalty corner, and Ben Nelson made it 5-0 with a well worked move with his brother Daniel.
