The Women 2's drew 1-1 with 3rd placed Chelmsford 2's on Saturday in the NE14Hockey East Premier league and then turned in a great performance to beat Old Loughtonians 2's 2-1 in the 2nd team cup on the Sunday.

The 4's got their 4th win in a row by beating Sudbury 3's 4-1. The 5's though lost 8-0 to league leaders Sudbury 4's.

 

The Men 1's had no game.  The Men's 2's  beat 3rd from bottom side Bedford 4-1 and then matched the Women with a great 2-1 win over Havant to reach the semi-finals of the 2's cup in their season of entering.

The Women's 1's travel to Cambridge to defend their East Indoor title. They play Sevenoaks, Cambridge City and Old Loughtonians for a place in the final on Sunday. The Women 2's will be looking to continue with winning ways as they face 3rd placed Chelmsford 2's on Saturday in the league and then Old Loughtonians 2's in the 2nd team cup on the Sunday. The Women 3's play Cambridge City 2's and should be able to field another strong team. The 4's will be looking for their 4th win in a row as they face Sudbury 3's. The 5's are also on the up and will want a good performance against Sudbury 4's.

 

The Men 1's have no game.  The Men's 2's  will hope the weather does not halt proceedings again as they face 3rd from bottom side Bedford. Then on Sunday they play their first ever 2nd Team cup game against Havant. The Men's 3's are in 2nd place in the NE14HOCKEY East Div 2 North League and will expect to take 3 points against Cambridge City 4's. The 4's will want to bounce back from their first loss in 18 months with a good win over Dereham 3's.  The 5's play Dereham 5's and another win should be on the cards to keep them in a promotion spot. The Vets face another tough weekend playing Harleston who are 3 points ahead of them, but Ipswich have a game in hand.
