Ulster Elks 3 UCD 3
These two sides play each other at Intevarsities level most years and when they are both in the same Division of the EYHL it can be up to three times a season. Ulster Elks, who are part college side through University of Ulster Jordanstown and part club side, are a unique mix not often seen in hockey but frequently seen in Irish basketball (e.g.Trinity Meteors and DCU Mercy). To add spice to the proceedings there were two former UCD players lining up against them on this occasion: Bethany Harper and Leah Maguire. It was the former who would weigh in on the goalscoring. Katie McKee gave Elks the lead from a penalty corner in the fourteenth minute. Elks were awarded a stroke a minute later. Bethany Harper made no mistake - 2-0 Elks. UCD are nothing if not resilient in the current campaign and they responded with a goal from open play in the twenty-ninth minute to trail 2-1 at the half-time break. Within four minutes of the resumption the visitors UCD were level at 2-2 thanks to captain Emma Paul's converted penalty corner on thirty-nine minutes. Bethany Harper from a penalty corner restored the lead for her new club in the fifty-fourth minute but UCD snatched their second draw in succession when Lucy Crowe converted a penalty corner in the fifty-ninth minute to leave the final score 3-3.
