Otter edged out Ealing 11-10 in a tense men's Championship 3 derby at the Garrison Sports Centre in Aldershot today.
During the early action, Otter were always ahead. But then Ealing scored three quick goals by Mehmet Arat, Rumen Kurtev and Lukas Dambrauskas to recover from 7-6 down to lead 9-7.
The advantage didn't last long. Otter levelled at 9-9 - and again at 10-10 - before Nicholas Corjon netted a last-ditch winner for Otter.
Lewis Daly scored four in Manchester Hawks' 9-6 victory over Bridgefield. There were also four goals each for Neil Swainson and Craig Mellors as Rotherham Metro outplayed Hucknall 16-8.
Cheltenham Spartans' 12-8 success against Birmingham featured three goals each for youngster Tom Hunt and experienced ex-first team regular David Taylor. Taylor bagged six later on as the Spartans rounded off a good day with a 14-12 defeat of Ealing. Nathan Wilkes inspired Birmingham's 12-11 victory over Otter, scoring seven.
