In Division Two, Marcus Hook was on the mark with a hat-trick in Birmingham's 8-4 defeat of West London Penguin. Sutton & Cheam's 12-8 victory over youthful Manchester Hawks included four goals by Gerarda Biancardi and three from Stephen Bayles.

NORTHUMBRIA WIN AGAIN

28/9/2014

 
Team Northumbria recovered from 4-1 down midway through the second quarter to beat Welsh Wanderers 9-8 in a closely-fought Division Two clash at Ponds Forge today (28 September) - the northern team's second success of the weekend.

The Wanderers were still narrowly ahead at 7-6 at the start of the last quarter. And with four minutes left, it was 8-8. Then, with a minute remaining, a man-up situation gave James Pratt the chance to claim a winner for Northumbria. Brett Perkins (4) and Neil Bowers (3) led the Northumbria scoring while Dan Laxton netted four for Wanderers.

POLY GRAB A POINT

28/9/2014

 
A goal 47 seconds from the end by Andrea Mirabile earned Polytechnic a point in a 5-5 men's Division One draw with Portobello at Ponds Forge, Sheffield, today (28 September).

The score stood at 3-3 after three quarters. Poly immediately took the lead through Galan, only for Johnston to equalise and Fraser Rutherford to score from a man-up to give the Scots a 5-4 advantage with five minutes still to play.

Goals were scarce in the Manchester-Invicta clash, which ended in a 6-2 victory for the champions. Manchester led 5-0 after three periods and it was only in the last three minutes that Invicta managed a couple of consolation goals.

Claire Gambles scored eight of Penguin Rockhoppers' goals against Iceni in a 13-4 win.

LATE SURGE GIVES LANCASTER VICTORY

27/9/2014

 
Three excellent goals in the space of just 58 seconds by Joel Thomas briefly earned Cheltenham a 5-4 lead against Lancaster in men's Division One at Ponds Forge today (27 September).

Cheltenham also claimed a 9-8 lead near the end of the third quarter. But Lancaster dominated the final period, scoring six through Glen Robinson (2), Alex Parsonage (2), Tom Curwen and Roger Kennedy to win 15-10.

Portobello led 5-0 in the first quarter against Invicta and went to win 10-6.

Division Two will be keenly contested once again this season. A goal nine seconds from the end by Brown earned Manchester Hawks a 9-9 draw with West London Penguin while Sutton & Cheam benefited from four goals by Biancardi to snatch an 8-6 victory over City of Birmingham.

Caledonia scored seven goals without response in the third period on their way to a 16-7 defeat of Welsh Wanderers while goals by Perkins (2), Smith (2), Ruffo, Bowers and Calvert gave Team Northumbria a 7-4 victory over Croydon Amphibians.

YORK WIN AGAIN

27/9/2014

 
York City are now the only team with a 100 per cent record in men's Division 4 after beating Bridgefield 9-4 at Basildon (27 September).

Cheltenham Spartans took a hammering at the hands of Watford, crashing 27-8. Tamas Csendes led the Watford scoring with six.

NARROW WIN FOR CASTLEFORD

27/9/2014

 
Castleford edged an 11-10 victory over Ealing in the battle of two previously undefeated men's Division Five teams at Ponds Forge, Sheffield, today (27 September).

Ealing recovered from 5-3 down to take a brief lead at 7-6 midway through the third period, but goals by Hall (2), Miller and Walsh gave Castleford a 10-7 advantage by the early stages of the final period. Ealing rallied again but too late to prevent a vital win for Yorkshire team. Franks (3), Hall (2), Millar (2) and Walsh (2) were their main scorers while Kurtev netted four for Ealing and Aotunasov three.

DEFEATS FOR SHEFFIELD, POLY

27/9/2014

 
Promoted clubs City of Sheffield and Polytechnic suffered defeats in their opening matches of the men's Division One campaign at Ponds Forge, Sheffield, today (27 September).

Sheffield trailed only 4-2 after two quarters against Bristol Central, but faded in the second half and eventually went down 10-4. Taylor, Zanon, Wyatt and Fennell each scored twice for Bristol.

Polytechnic competed well against champions Manchester and were level at 4-4 after two periods thanks to goals by Icely (2), Galan and Miletic. But Joe O'Regan's fourth goal edged Manchester 5-4 ahead until the final four minutes, when Mike Bourne and Rob Rae ensured a 7-4 Manchester victory.
