Men's Hockey League, Premier Division matchday preview. It's set to be another exciting weekend of action as some of the top teams in the league go head-to-head.

The first match of the weekend sees Surbiton take on Holcombe. Holcombe has only lost one of their last nine games and will be looking to secure a victory to move up to 2nd in the league standings. On the other hand, Surbiton has been inconsistent in recent weeks, with two wins, two losses, and a draw in their last five games. It's sure to be a tightly contested match between these two sides.

Reading will face a tough challenge as they take on unbeaten Old Georgians. Old Georgians will be looking to maintain their unbeaten record and inflict a third straight defeat for Reading. Reading, however, will be determined to turn their form around and secure a victory.

Oxted will take on Brooklands Manchester University in what promises to be an exciting encounter. The last meeting between these two sides in April was a nine-goal thriller, narrowly won by Oxted. Brookland will be looking to avenge that defeat, while Oxted will look to secure another victory.

It is the first time that East Grinstead will travel to the Nottingham Hockey Centre to play against the University of Nottingham. This makes the match even more exciting as East Grinstead will be looking to make an impact and climb the table. The University of Nottingham, on the other hand, will be looking to use their home advantage and put on a strong performance in front of their home fans. It will surely be an exciting and closely contested match between these two sides.

Beeston will take on the University of Exeter, with the latter looking for their third consecutive win against Beeston. Beeston will be looking to turn their form around and secure a victory, while the University of Exeter will be looking to continue their impressive form.

Finally, the match between Wimbledon and Hampstead & Westminster, which was scheduled for this weekend, has been postponed due to the European Hockey Indoor Championship. However, the championship itself has now been postponed due to the natural disaster in the host country of Turkey. As a result, the rescheduled date for the Wimbledon versus Hampstead & Westminster match is yet to be confirmed

Overall, it's set to be another exciting weekend of Men's Hockey League action, and we can't wait to see how it all unfolds.

The Vitality Women's Hockey League is heating up as we approach the weekend fixtures, with some exciting matchups on the schedule.

Hampstead & Westminster will take on Beeston at Paddington Recreation Ground, where they will be hoping to maintain their winning run and keep the pressure on the top teams. Meanwhile, with just one win in six, Beeston will be eager to put in a strong performance to close the gap on the top four.

The Loughborough Students and Reading encounter will take place at the Loughborough University Hockey Club. This will be the first league meeting in Loughborough between the two sides since 2008 when Leah Wilkinson hit the winning goal for the Students in a 3-2 victory. With both teams eager to climb the table, this match will surely be an exciting encounter.

The University of Birmingham will host the University of Nottingham in the second city for the first time in the Premier Division. With both teams eager to make an impression, this match is sure to be a closely contested affair.
