Robinson set for Argentinean league: News in Brief

* YMCA's David Robinson will spend his summer playing hockey with the San Fernando club in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He will be in action twice this weekend, taking on the brilliantly named Popeye on Saturday afternoon, following up with a home match against San Martin on Sunday in the Forbex Liga Nacional.


* UCD goalkeeper Pamela Smithwick has been included in Ireland's lacrosse squad for next month's Women's World Cup. The Irish senior cup winner continues the build-up for the competition at the Amsterdam Lowlands competition this weekend ahead of the tournament which gets underway in Prague in June.

* Former Three Rock Rovers' coach Turloch O'Siochain has taken on the head of coaching role at Bristol University for the 2009/10 season. O'Siochain is also in negotiations to potentially take on a further coaching position with a top English club side should the situation suit.

* Grange Road plays host to a pair of festivals over the coming fortnight. First up, this Friday sees the beginning of the annual veteran's festival before the younger crowd take over the venue when the MayFest kicks into gear for the weekend of May 29 to 31.

Best of luck Pamela, not many people know what kind of athlete you are. Going to the World Cup in your sport is one of the pinnacles of any career and is something to be very proud of- enjoy!

Great job throughout the year Stephen, any news of players/coaches moving on the Leinster scene?

As for players and coaches moving, in the same vein as last year I will not be posting rumours or speculation on moves.

If you have confirmed information on transfers or movement between clubs, drop me an email at stevie_findlats@yahoo.com

This passage is straight out of the Ulster hockey blog:"Pembroke Wanderers are in the unenviable position of seemingly having no financial worries. Not only have they employed a coach but they also have several semi-professional players." Anyone know who these semi-proffessional players are? I find it hard to believe. D.K
