EHL Weekend Roundup

With only seven points separating the top and bottom clubs in the men’s Premier Division there is still a lot of movement after five games. East Grinstead go top on the back of a win over Guildford, but previous leaders Cannock came off worse in a nine-goal tussle against an improving Beeston, who now move up to fourth, whilst Cannock slip back to third, behind Loughborough Students. The biggest mover is Surbiton who suffered a 6-2 setback at Reading and go from second to seventh.

It was a double header weekend in the men’s North, and South divisions. Of the leading clubs in the South division only Old Georgians took the full six points with victories over Firebrands and Whitchurch. OGs go ahead of Indian Gymkhana, who could only draw against Firebrands. Third place Oxted had a mixed weekend. On Saturday they hosted Plymouth Marjons, and despite an early goal by Gareth Carr for the visitors, goals by Reece Basson (2), Justin King (2), Richard Arscott, and Neil Turk sunk the boys from Devon. They had less luck the following day when they hosted another Devon side, University of Exeter, the match ending in a goalless draw.

A full set of league tables are current available at www.talkhockeyradio.co.uk.

We have experienced a minor problem at our main web site with the content of the tables showing publication dates and forthcoming fixtures. These have been blank for several days. This was caused by a bug in a software update we installed in our web authoring program. The problem has now been identified and the suppliers have provided a workaround. The tables have now been restored in working order.
