Pembroke

Last Season: 4th; IHL group stages

Player-coach: Natalie Fulton (3rd season)
Captain: Rachel McKeon

Players In: Sinead Loughran (Mount Anville)
Players Out: Louisa Moore (England)

Summary: How to replace Louisa Moore is Pembroke’s most pressing concern as the forward’s move to London sees a large chunk of goals to be filled from other sources.

Natalie Fulton is back to lend her South African international experience to the squad while Elaine Hall, Hannah Ring, Jill Collins and Sinead Loughran are all added to the roster.

Sarah Clarke and Katherine Duff, though, are out of action for the foreseeable future, making this a tough season to call for the Serpentine Avenue club. They look set to vye with Alex and UCD for the fourth and fifth IHL places.

First three games: Sept 26 Bray (h); Oct 17 Ballymoney (a) (IHL); Oct 24 Lurgan (h) (ISC)
