Glennane hoping to clinch last 16 spot

GLENANNE will renew acquaintances with Polish side Grunwald Poznan this weekend, as they bid to join Pembroke Wanderers in the last 16 of the EuroHockey League.

The Tallaght side have an early start today in Terrassa, Spain against German powerhouses Mannheimer, but skipper Joe Brennan says it’s the clash with Grunwald 24 hours later that is the top priority.

Assuming Mannheimer justify their favourites tag and win both games, Glens know victory over Grunwald — who they are meeting for the third time in recent years — will see them emerge from the three-team pool.
