Old Georgians and Wimbledon go into Euro Hockey League action having played out a lively 1-1 draw last Saturday, a result which sees both sit in the top three at this early stage of the season.
For OGs, they had beaten Reading 3-0 on Thursday and Sam Ward gave them a first half lead before Euan Gilmour levelled things up in the second, the first goal they have conceded this season.
For Ward, he has already netted eight times this season while new signing Henry Croft has already got three to his name.
They are looking forward now to a first meeting with HC Olten on Saturday afternoon (16.30 CET) in the KO16 in Barcelona before facing either HC Bloemendaal or Banbridge in their second game.
Wimbledon have also been lively in front of goal with Sam Hooper netting four times and Kei Kaeppeler on three.
And they will be in action a couple of days earlier with an enticing opening battle against Hamburger Polo Club on Thursday at 13.30 CET.
In the table, Old Georgians are top with Surbiton and Wimbledon two points back but have played a game fewer. They maintained a 100% record with their 4-1 win at Holcombe.
They trailed to an early Teague Marcano goal at half time but scored four in the second including two for Nick Bandurak against his former colleagues.
