After kicking their seasons off with victories last weekend, Holcombe and Buckingham face each other this Saturday as the Investec Women’s Hockey League Premier Division continues.

Last season’s beaten finalists, Holcombe beat Bowdon Hightown last weekend while Buckingham battled to a 2-1 victory over East Grinstead.

“The Bowdon game wasn’t our greatest performance,” said Holcombe coach Leigh Maasdorp. “We had to dig deep, and Bowdon came out firing and made us work hard.

“But this weekend we’ve got our three players back from playing in the New Zealand Hockey League which will give us a boost.”

However, Holcombe will still be without South African international forward Dirkie Chamberlain, who is still recovering from a hamstring injury.
