Hermes look to maintain form

Women's Hockey: The line-up for the Irish Senior Cup semi-finals should, weather permitting, be complete tomorrow after Ballymoney and Hermes meet at the Joey Dunlop Centre.

Railway Union await the winners of the tie. The holders, Pegasus, meet Loreto in the other semi-final. Both semi-finals will be played on March 8th.

Hermes go into the game in high spirits after a hugely impressive set of results last weekend when they beat Loreto 4-0 in the league before reaching the semi-finals of the Leinster Senior Cup with a 2-0 defeat of Pembroke Wanderers.

Pembroke will be aiming to maintain their four-point lead at the top of the first division when they play Old Alexandra at Booterstown, with second-placed Railway at home to Genesis. Nothing less than a win will do for Loreto, five points adrift of Pembroke, when they meet Corinthian.

The game of the weekend in Munster is the meeting of Church of Ireland, joint top with Cork Harlequins, and third-placed UCC.

Harlequins are away to the University of Limerick.
