Irish clubs face anxious wait over EHL participation
Quins had hoped to make the final of the EuroHockey club Champions Trophy — which they won in 2007 — and collect enough ranking points to perhaps earn back a second EHL place which was lost to Scotland last year.
But three successive narrow losses, coupled with good performances from Welsh representatives Cardiff, could mean Ireland will have no spot in the much-vaunted EHL — which would be gutting for Monkstown in particular as the top-ranked Irish side for 2013/14. The rankings will be confirm by EuroHockey next month.
