Slough must shake off indoor trauma

Hockey

Slough return to outdoor action after their disappointing journey into the European indoor tournament in Amiens last weekend with a home fixture against Doncaster in the League tomorrow and another in the AEWHA Cup fourth round against Liverpool on Sunday, writes Bill Colwill.

Sam Wright, who missed the trip into Europe last weekend, will be back and the Irish international Sarah Kelleher will be making her long-awaited league debut. The Olympian Anna Bennett is still out after surgery before Christmas while another international, Lucy Cope, will be looking to regain her match fitness with the second XI. Slough's coach, John Shaw, expects to play Kelleher in midfield.

On form, Slough should win both games. Victory in the first will keep the pressure on the leaders, Ipswich, who on Saturday seek revenge for a 3-0 defeat by Clifton earlier this season.
