Hockey: Cork Harlequins gear up for Pembroke clash

Cork Harlequins will hope to add some consistency to a rollercoaster EY Hockey League campaign when they host Pembroke Wanderers on Saturday.

Stephen Dale’s side’s fortunes have taken on a distinct pattern since November, after two wins with a pair of defeats. It has seen them yo-yo between third and their current rank of sixth.

Last weekend’s excellent 3-1 success at falling stars Ulster Elks got them back on the horse after defeats to UCC and Railway Union, and another win over Pembroke — who are just a point above them — would catapult them back into top-four contention.
