Darcy Bourne stars as Super Surbiton soar to scintillating victory on seismic Saturday of Vitality Women's Hockey

Darcy Bourne's dazzling hat-trick fired Surbiton to an emphatic 6-0 victory over East Grinstead to extend their unbeaten record at the summit in the 'Top 6' of the Vitality Women's Premier Division. A super Saturday of action saw the division's top two sides meet at Sugden Road and Bourne's brilliant treble, bolstered by Sophie Hamilton's double and Taz Cookman's strike, saw Surbiton deliver a dominant statement of intent on home soil.

Bourne soon completed her hat-trick with a penalty corner and penalty stroke before Cookman ensured East Grinstead were hit for six in a seismic 'Top 6' clash. That briefly extended Surbiton's lead at the summit to four points while later in the day, Emily Douglas' double helped propel Hampstead & Westminster to a pulsating 4-2 victory at Beeston.

Alice Huddlestone and Paige Gillott netted for the hosts but Douglas' pair of strikes, coupled with Lauren Turner and Sarah Robertson's goals, ensured Hampstead & Westminster capitalised on East Grinstead's defeat to leapfrog them into second in the table and three points behind Surbiton. Elsewhere on an entertaining Saturday of 'Top 6' action, Fiona Burnet's brace helped Wimbledon battle to a hard-fought 2-1 triumph at Clifton Robinsons.
