Canterbury can move four points clear at the top of the Investec Women’s Hockey League Premier Division
By Steve Tervet
Canterbury will open up a four-point gap at the top of the
Investec Women’s Hockey League Premier Division if they beat
Reading on Saturday.
With second-placed Leicester in European action this weekend,
Canterbury have the chance to increase the pressure on their
closest rivals.
The sides played out a 1-1 draw on Sunday as Canterbury
preserved their unbeaten record at the top.
Canterbury’s Mel Clewlow (pictured) said: "We’ve got a massive
game this weekend. Leicester are playing in Europe this weekend so
if we can get a positive result, we could be four points ahead of
them.
"We’ve never been in this position before but nobody is getting
ahead of themselves. Canterbury is a nice place to be right now.
We’ve taken four points off Leicester this season and I can’t
remember the last time that happened."
Nicky Triggs is the only injury doubt ahead of the Reading game,
having tweaked her hamstring against Leicester.
Push-back at Polo Farm is 11.45am, with Canterbury’s men hosting
their Reading counterparts straight after.
