Down to the wire as six sides chase semi spots

ALL four men’s semi-final places are still up for grabs as the pool stages of the inaugural Irish Hockey League look set to reach a dramatic conclusion tomorrow.

Hit-off times have been streamlined for each pool, and with six teams mathematically in contention for the coveted four spots — the curveball of bonus points and goal difference are also in the mix — the permutations are practically endless.

Just three points separate as many teams in each pool, with four points potentially on the table in every game.
