Cardiff/UWIC in EHL Play-offs
Cardiff & UWIC completed a successful tournament and qualified for the English National League next season. Despite losing their final match to Harleston Magpies 1-3, their greater goal difference ensured they finished second to Durham University with both teams promoted. Although Mark Ramage opened the scoring, Harleston equalised within a minute and took the lead with just 10' remaining. A third goal in the last minute was not enough to deny Cardiff & UWIC who now take their place in the National League with the other Welsh side, Whitchurch. In under two weeks time these teams will play each other in the semi-final of the Welsh Cup to see who will take the honours as top club in the Capital.

4th May 2008
Cardiff/UWIC in EHL Play-offs
In beating Kingston upon Hull 7-1 Cardiff & UWIC got their campaign back on track and lead the table with 10 points. Two goals from Mark Ramage (pc) and Tim Jones in the opening 3 minutes settled any nerves and with Dolan-Grey also scoring early on, the game and three points were safe. A second from Jones combined with a brace from Che Makan took Cardiff & UWIC 6 goals clear before Kingston pulled one back. Mark Gardiner completed the scoring which now leaves the Welshmen on the verge of National League qualification with one match remaining.

3rd May 2008
Cardiff/UWIC in EHL Play-offs
Cardiff & UWIC dropped their first points of the campaign when drawing 2-2 with Harborne. Owain Dolan-Grey and Jay Wilyman both scored first half goals to give the Welsh side a comfortable cushion. However Harborne were not to be beaten and Cardiff & UWIC conceded twice to set up a grandstand finish. Despite having chances to clinch victory Cardiff could not find the net and, not for the first time in this tournament, it was goalkeeper Steve Gardiner who ensured a point when stopping a breakaway one on one with 10 seconds remaining. Cardiff & UWIC will be looking to get maximum points against Kingston upon Hull tomorrow who went down by 9 goals earlier today.

27th April 2008
Cardiff/UWIC in EHL Play-offs
Cardiff & UWIC recorded their second successive victory in the chase to win National League status in defeating Fareham 2-1. A first half goal from David Saunders following a cross from Tim Jones gave Cardiff the lead which they were never going to lose. Early in the second half and against the run of play, a reversal of their first goal saw Saunders crossing for Jones to tap in. Fareham replied with their own well-worked goal with 7' left and despite having all the play the home side could not force the equaliser. Keeper Steve Gardiner was on top form nullifying a number of Fareham chances. Cardif & UWIC now go into the final three matches next weekend at Cannock sitting at the top of the qualification table.
