Whilst eyes were on the action in the men's European Indoor Club's Trophy in Vienna, it was an un-dramatic day back home in the Investec Women's League Premier Division.
We say 'un-dramattic' because the results for the top four went to form. Canterbury put bottom placed Slough to the sword with a 5-2 win, whilst Leicester (who will be in Vienna themselves next weekend for the Women's Indoor Championships) overcame Bowdon Hightown 1-6.
Canterbury currently lead the table on 30 points, with Leicester in second on 29 points. The third and fourth place clubs are both on 24 points and are waiting for the leaders to slip up if they are ever to overtake either of them. Surbiton beat Sutton Coldfield 4-2, whilst Reading scored four for no rely against University of Birmingham.
In Vienna, East Grinstead have won promotion to the full Championship tournament next year. We have to await the outcome of Sunday's match against the hosts, AHTC, to see whether it will be as Champions or runners-up. Although there is no final in the Trophy format, this match will be de facto a final.
East Grinstead always like to keep us on the edge of our seats, and their first of two promotion pool matches was just such a game. Playing a side from the Ukraine whose name is so long it will not fit on the match report form (it's actually Kolos-Sekvoya Vinnitsa) they trailed for much of the game and then, having taken the lead, threw it away in the 27th minute.
It was Niall Stott, who added to his 20th minute goal, to score the winner with two minutes to spare.
We have a page dedicated to results and tables from Vienna on our main web site. We also have lots of pictures from most of the matches at our sister site at www.HockeyImages.co.uk.
