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.
