BROMSGROVE could not have guessed the score line from Saturday's match at the top of the Worcestershire league.

Nothing could have prepared the visitors for the superb hockey played by Bournville, who deserved the win that took them to the top.Bromsgrove offered full commitment to attack but converted no penalty corner chances. As usual, they couldn't find the net and June Taylor and player of the match Justine Postpones worked hard to deflect any further attack on goal.Town must now rely on Bournville losing a match whilst losing none of their own three remaining league games, something which can by no means be guaranteed.

Another good win for the side despite selection difficulties. Their pressure exerted paid off when Kelly Evenson found the dangerous Pam Wood, who casually slipped the ball into the goal. Five minutes later Wood blasted home another goal from a short corner. After the break Town were caught out as Heath scored on the counter attack. With sharp play in defence and determination, Lindsay Hyde connected with a cross from the right to seal the game. Players of the match were Mo Fitzgerald and Jules Crawford.

Droitwich Spa Ladies' Firsts 2 Pickwick Old Sils Ladies' Firsts 2. Spa put last week's last minute defeat behind them and took the game to the visitors. This pressure resulted in a short corner converted by Sue Williams. The remainder of the first half flowed with both sides frustrating the opposition's defence. A goal line scramble resulted in the second Droitwich goal from Mary Bussey. Pickwick stepped up their game, levelling within five crazy minutes. The Droitwich defence regrouped and from thereon remained strong. Droitwich were back on form and made some breath-taking attacks with great speed. Player of the match was Angie Cornelius.
