Lads retain IHL and qualify for Europe

Pembroke will be back in the EHL next season thanks to a second successive IHL title, sealed at Grange Road this afternoon following a 4-1 win over Lisnagarvey. Alan Sothern notched up 3 goals on the day, his first came within minutes of the start. His final goal was a great piece of skill – Paddy Good chased a ball down on the right flank and picked Sothern out near the top of the D. He calmly dragged the ball low and to the right to seal the win for the lads.
