Lisnagarvey bounced back from their first defeat of the season on Saturday to beat Cork Harlequins on Sunday as just three points cover the top five sides in the Irish men’s EYHL.

Garvey came unstuck against Three Rock Rovers on Saturday as they found chances hard to come by throughout, falling behind in the first half to a Josh Gill goal.

And then Ryan Spencer flicked the ball into the roof of the net from the right baseline for a second; Matthew Nelson pulled one back with seven minutes left but they could not find a further chance and fell 2-1.

They did bounce back to beat bottom side Harlequins 4-2 in the second part of their double-header with Nelson scoring twice with Mark McNellis and Oliver Kidd also scoring.

Pembroke, meanwhile, moved top as they won with a final play winner over Monkstown for a 4-3 success and then drew with Three Rock 2-2. Avoca remain unbeaten in third place while Banbridge won twice over the weekend to sit in fifth place on 15 points, three off the lead.
