Today saw the first day the England Hockey League Promotion Tournament. For the clubs hoping to stay in the Premiership it was not a good start to the weekend.
Canterbury from the Men' Premier Division found themselves going 3-1 down to a University of Exeter side who are anxious to make a quick return to the top flight. For the women, Emma McCabe's penalty corner equaliser must have given Olton & West Warwickshire a glimmer of hope, but two goals in three minutes – the first from the evergreen Jane Sixsmith – gave Sutton Coldfield the 3-1 result to get them off to a flying start.
