Watford Saxons and Otter will be back in BWPL men’s Division 3 next season after taking the two qualification places at Haberdashers today. But it could have turned out very differently.
Watford (team picture below) went into the final period of their match against the British Army trailing 10-7. Had they lost, the Army would have gone through along with Otter. But Saxons had other ideas, goals by Niko Obradovic, Gethin Dorrington and Ilija Crompton levelling it at 10-10 with 3.20 to go.
Just 1.16 remained when Sam Carling put Watford ahead for the first time. Another Obradovic strike followed a couple of seconds before the final whistle, securing a 12-10 win.
Andrei Paternkin scored four as Otter completed their programme with an 11-7 defeat of Rotherham Metro.
Liverpool Liver Birds and Caledonia claimed the two qualification places in the women’s competition. Both rounded off day two with wins against Welsh Wanderers – Caledonia triumphed 17-7, including four goals by Lucy MacNair; Charlotte Hopwood bagged six in Liver Birds’ 12-4 victory.
