Goals galore in top flight hockey

The Bacchas A juggernaut continued on Saturday as the leaders of the Wi-Manx men's Premier Division hit Castletown for 11 without reply.

A Richard Le Page hat-trick, doubles from Karl Moore, John Callow and Andy Bridson and one apiece from Jamie Cox and Alex Atkinson stunned Town.

The result of the day saw Bacchas B hold Vikings A in an amazing 5-5 draw – a result which leaves Vikings’ title hopes in doubt.

Their scorers were Juan Corlett, Gerry Quinn (two), Paul Kelly and Dave Millward.

Chris Bass, Dave Kneale (two), Craig Leece, and Anthony Gullan were on target for Bacchas.

Valkyrs A had no such problems with a 6-1 thrashing of Vikings B.

There were also celebrations for Harlequins A as they secured their first victory of the season with a 5-4 success over Saracens A.

A Peter Nuttall hat-trick and goals from Pete Godwin and Peter Foxton secured the points.

Steve Cottier also hit a treble but ended up on the losing side with Andrew Winstanley netting the other for Saracens.
