Hockey: Leaders prove too good for LMHC

Two goals from Alex Belshire and one from Nick Davey weren’t enough to prevent their team from losing.

The men’s 2s’ 11-game winning streak came to an end at Formby 4s.

The hosts caused LMHC all kinds of problems, with Formby going on to win 5-1.

Dan Waterhouse scored LMHC’s only goal of the game with a good drag flick from a short corner.

The men’s 3s managed to draw 4-4 with Wigan, despite a depleted squad. LMHC took a 4-1 lead but Wigan hit back to snatch a share of the spoils.

LMHC’s goals were scored by Phil Preston and Benjamin Brookes, who got three.

LMHC Ladies 1s suffered a 3-2 home defeat to Southport 1s, a brace from captain Christiane Rogerson not enough.

The Ladies 2s drew 1-1 with Rossall 1s to claim a fine point in their Division One clash.

After a shaky start LMHC pulled a goal back but despite some late pressure they weren’t able to add to the scoreline.

Ladies 3s were also in action, beating Garstang 4s 2-1.

A much improved Garstang side gave the 3s a tough game but a goal in the first half from Becky Claire Barnes gave the 3s an early lead before Garstang equalised through a short corner.

However, a last second screamer from Pippa Clarke gave the 3s the win.
