Surbiton face a key derby date with Wimbledon on Saturday as their top six tussle continues in the women’s English Hockey League.
In a hugely competitive tussle, they drew with fellow title-chasers Reading 2-2 last weekend in their first outdoor fixture of 2025.
They led twice with Alice Sharp and Izzy Petter both on the mark but the Ding hit back with goals from Georgia Howe and Georgia Jones to share the spoils.
It leaves Surbiton in third spot in the table, five points back from Hampstead & Westminster and one point behind Reading with four more rounds of this top six phase to be played.
Wimbledon will be the first of those for the seals – who face SK Slavia Prague in the EHL FINAL12 on April 16 – with a win set to mathematically assure them of a top four place.
Their side has a healthy contingent from the new-look English women’s side with Sophie Hamilton, Izzy Petter, Darcy Bourne, Katie Curtis and Martha Taylor all involved over the winter in the FIH Pro League.
They combine with the experience of Giselle Ansley and Erica Sanders as they look to make an impact in Europe at Easter.
