STOUPORT Men went into the mid-season break with a fine 3-2 win against England Hockey League Men’s Conference West leaders Bath Bucanneers.

The hosts continued to pressure after the break and completed the rout through Rhiannon Linnington-Payne and Georgi Hingley’s double.

The team continued their progress in the National Trophy 24 hours later with a 3-1 victory at Hinckley.
