Indoor League - Day Two Round-up

Group 1:
Monkstown 4 (Gareth Watkins 2, Filip Jaros, Zac Dutton) Trinity 2 (Conor O'Sullivan 2);
TRR 5 (Colin Huet, Ezra Handelman, Liam Canning, Mitch Darling, Alan Bothwell) Pembroke 5 (Thomas Neuman 2, John McInroy, Craig Wilson, Paddy Conlon);
Avoca 2 (Stephen Day, Scott Wilkie) Trinity 5 (Jason Bryan, Conor O'Sullivan, Nick Odlum, Andrew Beverland, Dan Needham);
Pembroke 2 (John McInroy, Craig Wilson) Monkstown 4 (Eoin O'Connor, Zac Dutton, Alec Barrett, Gavin O'Halloran);
TRR 6 (Alan Bothwell 2, Andy McConnell 2, Mitch Darling, Gary Ringwood) Monkstown 6 (Gareth Watkins 3, Gavin O'Halloran 2, Zac Dutton)

Pembroke's grip on the indoor league looks decidedly shaky as they are on the verge of exiting the competition in the group stages. They picked up just one point from their two games today to need favours from Trinity and Avoca to keep them in the tournament.

They came back to snatch a point against Rovers on the final hooter, scoring a penalty corner to level in a game they trailed five times. They also equalised at half-time with a corner after the hooter.

Monkstown dominated their tie with the holders to win 4-2 and provided a near miracle to draw with Rovers after trailing 6-4 with 85 seconds remaining. Czech player Filip Jaros, who played in last year's Indoor World Cup was one of the star performers.

It means Town need a point from their match with Avoca while Three Rock will qualify for the semis with a win over Trinity.

Group 2
YMCA 3 (Rob Whelan 2, Richie Pedreschi) Corinthian 2 (Chris Pelow 2);
Fingal 3 (Ben Chillingworth, Paddy Gahan, Glen Shekleton) YMCA 5 (David Robinson 4, Trevor Dagg);
Railway Union 5 Glenanne 3;
Fingal 1 Corinthian 4
YMCA 4 Glenanne 6

YM made a strong start to their indoor campaign winning two out of two - David Robinson putting on a master class in finishing against Fingal. He turned a 2-0 deficit into a 4-2 lead before setting up indoor legend Trevor Dagg to seal the win.
