After losing out to bottom of the table Bowdon Hightown last weekend, Holcombe go to Hampstead & Westminster on Sunday hoping to rediscover their form in the Investec Women’s Hockey League Premier Division.

Currently fourth in the table with four wins from their first nine matches, Holcombe are at full strength for the match with the exception of GB and Wales international Sarah Jones, who is recovering from an extended period of illness.

“It has been an unpredictable league at times this season,” said Holcombe first team manager Julie Garbett. “We didn’t win last week but we played some really nice hockey. We need to build on that and continue to grow as a team.

“Our form is good, we obviously have areas to build on, but we have a good squad of ladies who want to do well for each other.”

A win for Holcombe could see them climb to third in the table depending how East Grinstead fare in their match against Beeston on Saturday afternoon.
