Hockey : Reading will battle Leicester on Sunday

Reading play host to Leicester in the Investec Women's Hockey League Premier Division as part of the club's Super Sunday, as the battle to top the table and secure a spot in Europe continues.

Currently third, Reading will be looking to replicate last weekend's 2-0 victory over leaders Canterbury, while Leicester - who could only draw with Canterbury a fortnight ago - will want to maintain their run of nine league matches without a loss.

'It's a really big game for us,' said Reading coach Steve Bayer. 'It's a great opportunity to see where we're at in the outdoor league.'

'We're looking forward to the challenge and are carrying a lot of positive momentum having beaten Canterbury last week. We've got a full strength squad for the match and a lot of depth in there, so we're confident.'

Meanwhile, leaders Beeston go to Liverpool Sefton, who need the win to boost their battle against relegation.

At the other end of the table, bottom club Taunton Vale host Trojans, while ninth-placed Stained entertain Stourport, who are eighth.
