Team Edge Hill fixtures preview 23/02/2011


Team Edge Hill fixtures preview 23/02/2011

TOMORROW sees yet another packed fixture list for Team Edge Hill, with 20 teams in action in the BUCS leaugues.

BADMINTON Men 1 v Edge Hill University Men's 2nd (h)

With just three matches left to play, the firsts will be looking for this to be their eighth straight victory and stay on course for their unbeaten season.

BADMINTON Men 2 v Edge Hill University 1st (a)

The seconds meanwhile will be still looking for a win to pull clear of Bangor in third who are just one point off with a game in hand.

BADMINTON Women v Manchester Metropolitan University Women's 1st (a)

A win against top of the table MMU will push badminton to second in the table just two points off top spot. The girls were victorious in the first leg at Edge Hill in the first match of the season so are full of confidence.

BASKETBALL Men 1 v Bangor Men's 1st (h)

A tough season so far in this higher league for basketball, but this is one match to target with Bangor just one place above bottom of the table Edge Hill. Danny Rainford will have to continue his fine form since coming into the side if Edge Hill are to get anything from the match.

BASKETBALL Men 2 v Glyndwr University Men’s 1st (h)

Victory for the seconds will see them leapfrog Glyndwr into fifth in the league and keep their push to finish as high up the league as possible with promotion all but impossible at this stage of the season.

FOOTBALL Men 1 v MMU Cheshire Men's 1st (a)

After a run of four matches without a win the firsts will look to beat MMU Cheshire who sit a place below and five points behind. A 3-0 win earlier in the season signals to another certain victory.

FOOTBALL Men 2 v Bangor University Men's 2nd (a)

This second versus third clash will be tough for Edge Hill who lost 3-2 earlier in the season, but a win today will seem them jump a place to top of the league and maintain their ambitions ov promotion this year.

FOOTBALL Men 3 v University of Chester (Warrington) Men's 1st (a)

Should the seconds beat Bangor, the thirds will jump to third with an expected win against bottom Chester Warrington whom they have already demolished 5-0 this season.

FOOTBALL Women v Keele University Women's 1st (a)

With two of their four matches left against bottom placed Keele, the women could very well be looking at finishing second and in a play off place for promotion this year.

HOCKEY Men 1 v University of Manchester Men's 4th (a)

A mouth watering top of the table clash in store following Manchester’s 3-2 win in November, Edge Hill must win to keep alive any chance of automatic promotion, with a play off spot virtually guaranteed already.

HOCKEY Men 2 v Keele University Men's 2nd (h)

Another top two clash for men’s hockey with yet again only one point seperating them. The seconds will have to rely on home advantage if they are to overcome a Keele side they fell 3-0 to already.

HOCKEY Women 1 v Bangor University Women's 1st (h)

The girls are in serious danger of dropping out of the play off spots with a tough match against top of the league Bangor, having already lost 3-1 this season things look dodgy for the firsts.

HOCKEY Women 2 v Glyndwr University Women's 1st (h)

If ever there was a match for Natalie Whelan’s team to win this is it. Both sit bottom of the table without a point and at home Edge Hill could be looking at their first win of the season.

NETBALL 1 v University of Manchester 4th (a)

This is the match that could confirm the firsts as division four champions, or allow Manchester to sneak in and put the pressure on Edge Hill’s unbeaten girls in the last two matches. Having won by only four points in the first match, the girls will need to be on top form for this crucial away fixture.

NETBALL 2 v University of Cumbria 2nd (h)

Edge Hill will almost certainly go top by Wednesday afternoon with a home fixture against bottom placed Cumbria who they have already beaten 53-47, and with a game in hand will go a point clear of Lancaster coming into the home stretch.

NETBALL 3 v University of Liverpool 4th (a)

It will be tough for the thirds to complete the set but a win against Liverpool, who they have already lost to and sit top, will see them go first.

RUGBY UNION Men 1 v Liverpool John Moores University Men’s 2nd (h)

Rugby union are on the cusp of automatic promotion and will look to home advantage, their first match on campus this season, to drive them over the finish line with a victory over John Moores.

RUGBY UNION Men 2 v University of Chester (Warrington) Men's 1st (a)

The seconds will be looking to get back to winning ways in order to chase down Chester Warrington in second place and continue their push for promotion in only their first season.

SQUASH Men v University of Lancaster Men’s 2nd (h)

With promotion just out of sight Terry Wood and his men will be looking to add to their impressive season and three wins in six matches. Although a win over Lancaster could leave a possibility of finishing second this season.

TABLE TENNIS Men v University of Lancaster Men's 1st (a)

Edge Hill will be playing to keep the score down with the first leg finishing in a 17-0 loss against the league leaders who have been rampant this season.
