Hockey: Lisnagarvey all out to put the record right

The EY Hockey League is one of the first European leagues to awake from its winter slumber this weekend, returning with a bang as the top two lock horns at Rathdown.

Lisnagarvey go to Monkstown with a four-point lead but will have revenge in mind; their sole defeat in the opening nine encounters was a humbling 5-2 home reverse at the hands of the Dubliners.

’Town are reigning national champs and won the last three truncated Irish Hockey Leagues before the competition went full-time this season. Peter Caruth may miss out through illness but Kyle Good, Gareth Watkins and keeper David Fitzgerald are just some of the other decorated internationals in their side.
