EHL PREMIER Cannock................2 HAMPSTEAD & WESTMINSTER...........2

THE SIDE from Paddington Rec made sure of another season of top-flight hockey with an impressive draw in the Midlands on Saturday.

The point, coupled with a 4-0 hammering for Havant in the relegation play-off place, meant H&W climbed to the relative safety of seventh in the 10-team league, and five points clear with just a match left.

Dave Eakins made it goal number nine for the campaign with a penalty corner to cancel out Cannock's early opener.

And then Harwinder Chima's first of the season for the west Londoners with two minutes left was dealt a cruel blow when Hardeep Jawanda's second squared things up less than 60 seconds later.

MBBO LEAGUE Milton Keynes.....................0 PHC CHISWICK..................1

IT'S BECOME a fairy-tale ending to the season for PHC after the Linford Christie Centre side climbed to half-way in the table following this win.

Dan Horne's second-half goal against the league leaders comes less than two months after the team known as Polly flirted with relegation.

Since then, a string of wins means PHC could eventually finish fifth over their last two games.
