Holcombe enjoyed a much more successful second weekend of Super 6s action. Both the men’s and women’s side completed their Premier Division and Division One campaigns respectively. By Lucas Ball With just a combined four points from seven matches on weekend one, Holcombe won five of their eight weekend two matches, drawing one and losing two by the odd goal.
Richard Lane’s Holcombe women’s side enjoyed four straight wins at Polo Farm, Canterbury to secure a fourth-place finish in Division One, just a point behind the top-two promotion spots.
Holcs started the weekend with a 4-2 win over Kent rivals Sevenoaks, who took a first-quarter lead through Carys Isherwood. Lottie Bingham got Holcombe back level before half-time and put them in front midway through the third period before Lane’s side were pegged back by a goal from Sevenoaks captain Maddie Thompson to head into the final quarter at 2-2 but another Bingham goal to complete her hat-trick on her first competitive indoor appearance for Holcombe as well as one for Catherine Ledesma gave Holcombe the three points.
It was another win by the same scoreline in Holcs’ second Saturday match against Wimbledon, with the match playing out in a similar fashion.
