Institute seek back-to-back wins

AS Munster’s sole side with a win in this season’s Irish Hockey League, Ger O’Carroll’s Catholic Institute will be looking to progress their play-off claims tomorrow against winless Old Alex.

Institute moved into a three-way share of second spot in Pool A last Saturday, with Jane Bourke snatching a last-gasp win at Armagh. With leaders Pegasus facing unbeaten UCD, opportunity knocks to make further headway but they will need to be wary of an Alex side who have Shirley McCay in from the start.

The Irish centurion missed the first half against Pegasus as she attended her masters’ graduation last weekend. Her side had fallen 2-0 down in that time before rallying in the second period with McCay at the base of midfield.
