Super Saxons score 13
The Hastings-based outfit ran out 13-1 winners at home to Worthing III in a one-sided South Hockey League Sussex Area - Division One fixture on Saturday.
It took Saxons a while to get used to a new, more attacking 4-3-1-2 formation, but they played some very good hockey and tore their opponents apart.

Hide AdMan of the match Dave Draper scored five goals and fellow forward Jamie Busbridge bagged a hat-trick. Paddy Cornish weighed in with two, and there was one each for Dan Burnett, George Eldridge and Alex Coombs.
Captain Pete Watters said: “We said before the game ‘let’s go and show that last week (when they lost 7-1 away to leaders Lewes II) was a bit of a blip and prove we’re still one of the top teams in this league’. I say this every week, but the crazy thing is we could’ve scored even more.”
A full report will appear in Friday’s Hastings Observer.
