Hockey: Trio of Manx teams back in EH championships action

All head to UK for latest fixtures this Sunday (19 Jan)

Three of the Isle of Man's junior national hockey teams will return to England Hockey championships action this weekend.

The Island's Under-18 Girls, Under-16 Girls and Under-14 Boys squads will all head to the UK for matches in their respective competitions on Sunday (19 January).

Having lost out on penalty shuffles in the Tier 2 KO Championships last November, the Under-18 girls now move into the EH Tier 2 Plate for their age group and will face Brooklands at Wigan Cricket Club at 10am on Sunday.

Elsewhere, the Under-16 girls will be looking to build on a penalty shoot-out win in the previous round of the Girls U16 Tier 2 KO Championship when they also face an early start away at Garstang on the same day at 10.15am.

There's also a morning push-back for the Manx Under-14 Boys who also advanced on a penalty shoot-out in the last phase - they're taking on Chester at Lancaster University at 10am on Sunday.
