It was a lot more fraught than it should have been but Pembroke have picked up the first ever win by an Irish club in EHL competition tonight - a decent piece of history. It was all built on Alan Sothern's stunning first quarter hat-trick. It got a bit sticky in the third quarter but Sothern pulled it out of the bag once again to ease the nerves. Kelburne take a bonus point but need to beat Rotterdam tomorrow to have any chance of progression.
There's a very rare thing going on as Pembroke applaud the Glenanne supporters on their way round to their own set of fans. Great respect and reception all round! A night to be proud of Irish hockey.
Full reports and photos will appear on The Hook later this evening!
