ISOBEL Seed’s majestic solo goal capped a brilliant team performance for the Urmston Hockey Club Ladies' firsts as they beat Bolton 4-2.

Seed was joined on the scoresheet by in-form Rachel Kelly, Stacey Brown and Danielle Harvey.

The men’s seconds were made to work for their win against Warrington firsts but edged the encounter 1-0 to move fifth.

Despite being in the ascendancy for the majority of the game, the Greens struggled to find a way past the dogged Warrington defence but eventually their pressure paid off to take all three points.

The men’s thirds boosted their survival hopes as they beat Didsbury Northern sevenths 3-1, moving them up to fifth in the table.

Andy Power scored his seventh goal in three games but the men’s firsts were unable to make their chances count as they fell 5-3 to league leaders Liverpool Sefton.

Mike Tonge immediately cancelled out Sefton’s early opener before the visitors raced into a 4-1 half-time lead.

The Greens were left to rue wasted chances as their rally came too late with Power and Sean Barrett netting in a dominant second-half performance.

The under-11s' stars were in action on Sunday with coach Derek Milne’s boys finishing joint second in their group.

Captained by the impressive Jamie Weaver, the team won two games, drew one and lost one with Arthur Hardwood joining hat-trick hero Harry Monk on the scoresheet.

Their success was due in no small part to the midfield command of Weaver, eight year-old Charlie Trayner, and Max Groves, supported by Freddie Carr in attack.

The girls' young team managed two draws and three narrow losses which was particularly impressive with three seven-year-olds in the team.

Kevin and Estelle Crook’s team of young talent consisted of Mia Crook, Mia Gwilym, Maizie Lillie, Amy Burgess, Isla Aldred, Florence Rhodes, Mel Arnold and Mikki Keayrns.
