England: Premier Division Review – 5th April

england premier division review 5th april 67f3f1287fe8f - England: Premier Division Review - 5th April - Oxted produced a shock result in the Mens Play-offs Pool B drawing at Holcombe and winning the shootout for a bonus point. Only seven days previously Oxted lost 5-0 to their hosts but secured a fine 2-2 draw on Saturday. Oxted goals from Ollie Bennett and Chris Porter were twice cancelled out by Teague Marcano and Alex Pendle. The game was goalless in the last 30 minutes and in the subsequent shootout it was 2-2 after five each before Oxted clinched it 3-2. The other game in Pool B went to form with Surbiton beating Beeston 3-0 thanks to goals from Max Anderson, Stuart Rushmere and Jacob Smith. Beeston’s Henry Croft failed to find the net for only the second game this season.  In Pool A Old Georgians returned to winning ways with a 6-1 defeat of East Grinstead.  James Carson, Sam Ward (2) and Alan Forsyth gave them a 4-0 half time lead and Tom Carson added two more before Simon Faulkner’s consolation corner on full time. Wimbledon also won by a five goal margin, beating Hampstead & Westminster 5-0. Goals came from a brace each for Duncan Scott and Ben Francis plus one for Euan Gilmour. Hampstead have now only won once since the break.  In the Relegation Pool Richmond’s demotion was confirmed with a 4-3 loss at Southgate. It was a tight game level at 2-2 going into the last 10 minutes when goals for Hugh Page and Alistair Douglas put Southgate 4-2 up. Although Hamish Imrie pulled one back with three minutes to go Richmond couldn’t find an equaliser.  It was an important win for Southgate as it keeps them six points clear of Bowdon. Bowdon beat Cardiff & Met 3-2 in another game that was 2-2 going into the last 10. Carlos Dolado-Hollyman hit a 69th minute winner for Bowdon but their joy will have been tempered by the Southgate result, and the London side hold a greatly superior goal difference.   TOP SCORERS
