RACE AT TOP OF PREMIERSHIP GETS TIGHTER.

The race at the top of the Men's Premier Division got tighter this afternoon after a depleted East Grinstead side went down to two goals apiece from Cannock's Matthew Plunkett and David Harris. There is now only one point separating East Grinstead from second placed Cannock.

Beeston and Surbiton stay in the hunt with wins over University of Exeter and Southgate respectively. Reading's match against Bowdon was scratched due to the weather and so they now have a game in hand in fifth place behind Beeston and Surbiton.

There were no East Conference matches played today but the North lost only one match, that being the game between Leek and Deeside Ramblers. Brooklands MU look set for an early bid to return to the Premier Division with a 3-1 win over Doncaster which puts them three points clear at the top. Second placed Sheffield Hallam played their part in opening the gap by dropping points in a 3-3 draw at Olton.

The West Conference managed to survive most of the big freeze, with only the match between Guildford and University of Birmingham. Leaders, Bath Buccaneers, inflicted some pain on Bournville, beating them 8-3 to go 10 points clear at the top of the table. Bournville are bottom of the table.
