Headaches mount for Hockey Ireland's top brass

Hockey Ireland look set for a series of appeals over the allocation of European placings for next season in the wake of an independent panel’s decision to overturn the governing body’s decision to declare this season “null and void”.

Announcing that decision in early May, HI handed Three Rock Rovers the men’s top seed and a place in the Euro Hockey League with Lisnagarvey the second spot while Pegasus retained the women’s first spot with Loreto second.
