EHL CUP, THIRD ROUND HAMPSTEAD & WESTMINSTER............0 Bowdon......................3

The Paddington team were always playing catch-up after they went a goal down to the beaten 2007/8 finalists after just four minutes.

Ed Perry's deft flick into the top corner from a penalty corner restored the balance, but poor mistakes in the second-half saw Bowdon pounce twice to kill the tie.

MBBO LEAGUE PHC CHISWICK..................................................0 Milton Keynes................3

ONLY the poor form of sides beneath them kept PHC out of the relegation places on Saturday. The Linford Christie Centre side stay ninth out of 12 teams after this defeat - but only one defeat away from rock-bottom.
