Old Alex 3 (Roisin Flinn 2, Laura McCoy) Pembroke 1 (Hayley O'Donnell)
Old Alex's superb second half performance earned them their second win of the weekend to bound up another rank in the league standings as they came from a goal deficit to beat Pembroke in Milltown. Hayley O'Donnell had given the lead from the second phase of a penalty corner but it was scant reward as the visitors had dictated affairs in the first half and some of the early stages in the second half.
Alex, though, changed their approach in the second period and drew dividends when they turned over possession with greater frequency. And they capitalised, first when Laura McCoy got on the end of a turnover move and they soon took the lead when Roisin Flinn stole the ball on halfway.
She raced away from one tackle and penetrated the circle unopposed to slot home the 2-1 goal. She smashed in her second from the right of the circle to secure the points later on which moves the Milltown club above Trinity. Pembroke, meanwhile, remain in eighth place.
Jacqui Potter Cup - second round
Corinthian, Glenanne and Loreto II all advanced to the last eight of the Jacqui Potter Cup this weekend with wins over Pembroke II, Bray and North Kildare respectively. The reds showed some rustiness after the winter break but Carol McGowan's goal from a first half penalty corner melee was enough to see them over the line. Audrey McCormack netted a corner for the Glens in extra-time to seal their passage. Loreto II were comfortable three goal winners.
Results: Corinthian 1 (Carol McGowan) Pembroke II 0; Glenanne 1 (Audrey McCormack) Bray 0; North Kildare 0 Loreto II 3

This should help, I assume its not an open draw but I stand to be corrected.
Council meeting tonight I heard they may do it then
Think it is an open draw for each round but not 100% sure. Old Alex 1s are playing Corinthians 2s next Sunday, 24th, so they might wait for that result before the draw?
any news on Jacqui Potter draw????
Glen V Corinthians I believe
Old ALex 2 V Genesis was a league match, they are playing their cup match on Sunday 3.30pm in Alex
jacqui potter draw: railway vs hermes, corinthians vs glenanne, alex vs corinthians II and pembroke vs ?
Stephen, the Old Alex win against Genesis was a League fixture - the rescheduled cup game to be played Sun 24 Jan. Winners of this tie to face Pembroke 1s in the next round.
Apologies, have removed the incorrect info.
