Railway strengthen hold of top spot in Irish women’s league

Railway Union fought back from 2-0 down to draw with UCD and continue their unbeaten start to the women’s EY Hockey League in Ireland after eight rounds.

They trailed at half-time but the combination of Maebh Le Roux and Micaela Sanderson combined to get them back into the game before Hollai Quinn scored a beautiful goal to earn the draw.

It followed a 3-1 Friday night win over nearest rivals – at the time – Pembroke where Le Roux added another couple and Ciara Utri was also on the mark.

The combination of results leaves the EHL-bound side six points clear at the top of the Irish table with upcoming games against the bottom two sides Pegasus and Monkstown.
