ALDERLEY Edge Hockey Club ladies seconds retained their position at the top of Cheshire League Division One following their 3-0 win against Warrington.

Brogan Tennant, Claire Davidson and Lexi Archer optimised on the constant pressure Edge kept up during a game which took a sad turn when one of Warrington’s players was taken to A&E with a nasty looking ankle injury.

Despite playing some of their best hockey of the season so far, the thirds were unlucky 1-2 losers against Oxton in the same league.

The fourths, however, managed a 1-1 draw against Lymm thirds in Cheshire League Division Three.

Lymm’s goalkeeper thwarted many of Edge’s early efforts and it was they who opened the scoring from a short corner.

A great goal from Kirsty Dickson 20 minutes from time equalled the score and some stoic defending for the rest of the game secured Edge’s hard-fought point.

The Ladies fifths lost 0-3 to Deeside Ramblers thirds whereas the sixths earned a valuable three points from their 2-0 victory over Brooklands Poynton fourths in Division Five.

This fourth win on the bounce means they are now fourth in the table.

Liz Callaghan scored an early goal which settled the team before Lindsey Taylor scored Edge’s second with a confident strike from a short corner.

The sevenths put 10 goals past Whitchurch Ladies thirds in Division Six, meaning they now sit in fourth place in the league.
