Ireland's standout first choice goalkeeper David Harte has been back in action again in the Euro Hockey League since his days with Pembroke Wanderers where he was able to display his potential at the time. Having helped his Dutch club Kampong in the Hoofdklasse qualify for the European tournamnet and in strong form internationally and domestically, he has been performing well in his second taste of the cross-national tournament set-up. This weekend saw him in between the sticks in the first round. For Kampong it is their first taste of EHL action, having pushed out Amsterdam for their place in the competition, joining compatriot sides Rotterdam and Oranje Zwart who also seem ever present, and it will be interesting to see how they adjust to this standard of play over the course of the season.
You can see footage of him and his strong performances to help his team to success in the Euro playoff campaign the season just gone:
And here playing against Rott Weis at the weekend, where he made an important short corner save in the first half of the game to keep his team in with a chance of getting ahead and keeping the lead:
