ST ANDREWS SET THE PACE

11/9/2021

 
St Andrews University look set for a comfortable passage into women’s Division 3 in the new season after winning their four matches on day one of the qualification tournament at Liverpool.

The students hammered another Scottish team, Kirkintilloch & Kilsyth, 11-1, and then proved too good for near rivals Liverpool Water Beatles, winning 4-0 with goals by Lauren Charter (2), Kate Mackie and Amelia Downs.
​
Manchester Comets finished the day with seven points from a possible eight, beating Solihull 7-3 thanks to goals from Fran Collings (3), Charlotte Pritchard (2) and Lilly Pryce (2). 

WANDERERS CLAIM VITAL WIN

Watford and Welsh Wanderers will meet tomorrow at Watford Woodside pool (10.30) in a winner-takes-all decider for the one remaining place in men’s Division 1 at the start of the new season.

Wanderers set up the finale with a superb 11-9 victory over Sutton & Cheam, also at Watford, today.

Sutton went into the match knowing that a win or draw for them would guarantee promotion alongside Championship 1 winners Polytechnic and runners-up Cheltenham. But the Welsh side were having none of it, storming into a 5-1ead in the opening quarter with goals by Joe Jenkins-Delf, Charlie Hinder, Lewis Gilmour, Dan Laxton (Photo: Trevor Hyde) and Lloyd Pittick.

It was 8-4 to Wanderers after three periods. Sutton briefly narrowed the gap to 10-8 in the last before Matt Griffiths scored to ensure a Welsh triumph. 

Wanderers will progress to the top division – for the first time since 2010 – if they beat Watford, or tomorrow’s match is drawn. A Watford victory would put them in the top division for the first time as they would be equal on points with Wanderers – but take preference by winning the match between those sides.

NEWCOMERS WIN AT LIVERPOOL

11/9/2021

 
Seven teams were battling for three places in women’s Division 3 next season when the qualification tournament opened in Liverpool today.

Close matches were inevitable. At the start, two teams that dropped out after phase one in 2019/20 – Liverpool Water Beatles and Manchester Comets – drew 3-3.

Later, the Comets left it late to defeat one of the new applicants, Kirkintilloch & Kilsyth, 6-5, claiming late goals by 14-year-old Charlotte Pritchard and Fran Collings.
​
There were wins for two more new teams. Solihull beat Sunderland 8-2, with Emma Marshall notching a hat-trick, and St Andrew’s University cruised to a 10-3 victory over Durham Palatinates, including three goals from Carla Carrega.

Later St Andrew's easily defeated Solihull 7-1 while Durham needed a late goal from Sophie Orger to edge out ​Kirkintilloch & Kilsyth 7-6.
