Disappointment for West Clubs (04.03.08)

It was disappointment for all but one of our Clubs in the later stages of EH National Competitions at the weekend.
 
In the Final of the EH Women’s 2nd XI Cup, it was golden goal misery for Exe as they were beaten by Loughborough Students in front of a crowd of over 100 spectators supporting both teams. Exe equalised in the last 2 minutes to finish 1-1 at full time before Loughborough Students scored a penalty stroke in the 79th minute to secure victory.
 
The West's only success story was Wimborne Wayfarers 4-2 victory at home to Bramhall in the Quarter Final of the Men’s Vase. Their reward is a Semi-final trip to UCL Academicals on 30 March.
 
In the Quarter Final of the Men’s Trophy, Devizes were beaten 4-2 at Banbury and Jersey lost 7-2 at Henley.
 
In the Quarter Finals of the Men’s Vintage Cup, Hereford lost out 6-0 at home to Richmond and Isca faced a long trip home after the heartbreak of losing 4-2 on penalty strokes at Ipswich, after finishing 2-2 at full time.
 
This weekend sees Plymouth Marjon host City of York in the Quarter Final of the Men’s Vintage Cup, Gloucester City travel to Hampton in Arden and Jersey host Slough at the Quarter Final stage of the Men’s Veterans Plate.
 
There is also plenty of action in the Boys & Girls U15 & U18 Cup and Plate competitions as our Clubs look to make the Quarter Final draw on Monday morning.  
 
For full information on all these competitions have a look at the Competitions Page of the England Hockey website.
