Fixture headache eased for local clubs as Wildcard weekend put back
Banbridge were facing the prospect of having to play nine Ulster Premier League fixtures between now and the 7 March but, with that amount of fixtures almost impossible to fulfil, Irish Hockey have finally confirmed that they have postponed the wildcard weekend.
“The men’s IHL Wildcard target date of 13th - 15th March has already fallen foul of the weather as it will not be possible to get all 3 leagues completed prior to the date,” they confirmed.
