Maguire smashes EHL hat-trick

Phelie Maguire once again saved his best form for the EHL as he smashed a first half hat-trick for KHC Leuven in their 7-1 win over Round 1.2 hosts Paris St Germain.

Maguire – one of Three Rock Rovers’ stand-out performers against Leuven and Atletic Terrassa last year – cracked in a fine opener with a spin and forehand hit before hitting two reverses from the left edge of the circle.

Former Wesley schoolmate Mitch Darling (pictured left) was also on target with a close range goal from Edu Quemada’s cross for his fifth goal in two outings this week and a superb cross also set up the Belgian club’s second goal.
