Hermes took full advantage of their lack of ISC commitments to take six more points to maintain their, albeit slim, chance at retaining the division one title. More significantly, they virtually got rid of any lingering possibility of missing out on an IHL place.
They did it by first beating Bray - next week's cup semi-final opponents - on Saturday 4-1 with Jenny Burke bagging a pair before scoring the only goal of the game to oust Pembroke.
Meanwhile, the side best placed to nick top spot off Railway, Loreto, had a comfortable 7-2 win over Corinthian with Irish international duo Cathy McKean and Niamh Small both picking up hat-tricks.
Results:
Saturday: Hermes 4 (Jenny Burke 2, Nikki Evans, Chloe Watkins) Bray 1 (S O'Toole)
Sunday: Loreto 7 (Cathy McKean 3, Niamh Small 3, Eilis Smith) Corinthian 2; Hermes 1 Pembroke Wanderers 0

Who is the player in the yellow in the above photo?
The pic is of Pembroke's Hayley O'Donnell and Hermes' Jenny Burke.
how many more points do Railway need to win the title, Loreto are snapping on their heels?
I would just like to point out to all in leinster - railway union ladies hockey club have NEVER, ever won the leinster senior league, it would be soooooo sweet to see a new name as the title holders
In respone to the points question (12:04) - Railway need four wins from their remaining six games to be guaranteed of the title.
And who are the remaining six matches against?
UCD, Trinity, Pembroke, Bray, Corinthian, Loreto - all this information is available at www.leinsterhockey.org
