HOCKEY: Kidderminster's bottom-of-the-table position in DTZ League Midlands One was confirmed with Saturday's 7-0 defeat at high-flying Sikh Union.

They have just one game left, at home to second-placed county rivals Worcester Norton on Saturday, but are four points behind Old Halesonians.

With four seniors missing at the weekend, their young side comprised under-21-year-olds though they did play well against strong opponents from Nottinghamshire.

Kidderminster were 4-0 down at half-time but improved in the second half, conceding three more goals alongside a penalty-flick save from keeper Neil Furminger.

The fourths began slowly and gave away two goals through poor defensive marking.

Another goal was conceded early in the second period before Piers Whitehouse narrowed the deficit from a short corner.

Ken Preece, making a welcome return to the club, grabbed the second goal.

Fixtures, Saturday: Kidderminster 1sts v Worcester Norton, Streetly v 2nds, 3rds v Stafford, Worcester Norton 6ths v 4ths.
