Canterbury face relegation play-offs
Canterbury face relegation play-offs

It was a case of mixed fortunes for Kent’s sides at the weekend with Canterbury, Holcombe and Sevenoaks all in action.

Brooklands Manchester University guaranteed their Premier Division status for next season with a 3-2 defeat of fellow strugglers Canterbury as the Men’s Hockey League reached a thrilling finale.

Canterbury needed to win to avoid the relegation play-offs, but Brooklands took the lead after 22 minutes as Peter Flanagan found the net.

After the break, Dave Flanagan doubled their advantage but Craig Boyne gave Canterbury hope with a strike in the 42nd minute.

Ross Hall made it 3-1 on 53 minutes and although Boyne pulled another back for Canterbury, it wasn’t to be enough.

Having already qualified for the play-offs, Holcombe and Hampstead and Westminster, drew 3-3.

Ian Harvey, Gareth Andrew and Samuel Ward struck for Holcombe whilst Jonny Codling, Samuel French and Peter Makin scored for Hampstead.

Sevenoaks claimed the Conference East title – and a place in the promotion play-offs – in dramatic style after a 3-2 victory in their winner-takes-all match at Teddington.

Andrew Ross twice gave Sevenoaks the lead, only for Tim Davenport and Phil Lewis to hit back for the hosts.

A draw would have seen Teddington claim top spot, but Andrew Ross completed his hat trick two minutes from time with his 21st and most important goal of the campaign to give Sevenoaks the decisive win.
