LEOPARDS AND PUMAS STILL AHEAD IN SUPER LEAGUE

After four matches it’s still neck and neck at the top of the men’s GB Super League. Time Pinnock, Matt Daly (4) and James Tindall (3) were all on target for Wessex Leopards in their 8-4 win over Saxon Tigers, whilst Pennine Pumas overcame Highland Jaguars 3-2 with goals from Simon Egerton, Richard Smith and Mark Gleghorne.

Leopards and Pumas lead the table on 12 points, separated by goal difference. The two sides meet in the final match of the tournament tomorrow. There is an eight point gap between the sides and the third placed team, Celtic Panthers.

In the women’s Super League Pennine Pumas are the only unbeaten side, with three wins out of three. They played Celtic Panthers in a match which they won 4-0. The scorers were Jo Ellis (2), Chloe Strong and Sally Walton. In second place is Saxon Tigers, who won their match against Caledonian Cougars 3-0, with Harriet Pearce, Jess Wood and Jenny Hall the scorers.

The format for the men’s and women’s tournament is slightly different. Both are played on a round-robin basis but the women’s teams play off to decide their final places. The League finishes tomorrow.
