Pembroke and Glenanne set for showdown

ANOTHER chapter in Irish hockey’s most enduring club rivalry will be written this weekend when Dublin powerhouses Pembroke Wanderers and Glenanne lock horns in round two of the men’s Irish Senior Cup at Serpentine Avenue (3pm).

Pembroke will be boosted tomorrow by the presence Irish international goalkeeper David Harte, who made his comeback from injury during the midweek 4-0 win over YMCA.

The Cork native is often the difference in these encounters, and his duel with Glens sharpshooter and his international colleague Stephen Butler at short corner time will be worth the admission fee alone.
