DAN Downes scored again as the Urmston Hockey Club's men’s seconds beat Cheetham Hill firsts 3-0 in a weekend ravaged by wet weather abandonments.

Joining Downes on the scoresheet was man of the match Andy Wilson – who netted a penalty – and Mike Tonge with Pete Wood in impressive form with two assists.

Meanwhile, man of the match Humza Ahmed scored as the men's thirds ran out 6-1 winners against Leigh men's firsts with Chris Seed and Stu Higginbotham also netting.

Elsewhere, the ladies' firsts were leading through Danielle Harvey’s early goal against Prescot ladies’ firsts before the waterlogged pitch forced that game off and the following men’s 1st XI match.
