Breakthrough Year for English Club Hockey?

Could this be the year an English men's club side makes history in European hockey? The draw for the Euro Hockey League has sparked excitement, with the possibility of a British club reaching the final for the first time.

English champions Surbiton will face Club de Campo de Madrid, while Old Georgians will take on reigning champions Gantoise. If both teams win, they will meet each other in the Final4.

Reading previously reached the final of the old EuroHockey Club Champions Cup in 2005, after winning the event in 2003, breaking a 23-year barren spell for English sides.

No easy feat, but a potential all-English Final4 match-up is on the cards.
