Bacchas through to quarter-finals of Men’s Trophy

Bacchas A are the toast of Manx hockey after a fine win in the third round of the England Men’s Trophy on Saturday.

In a rare home match, they came from behind to defeat Rugby and East Warwickshire at the National Sports Centre and reach the quarter-finals.

After the visitors took a first-half lead, that advantage looked set to be doubled when Rugby and East Warwickshire were awarded a penalty.

However, goalkeeper Greg Turner saved the flick and Bacchas were visibly lifted.

Cue Andy Whiting.

The Bacchas’ front man scored a superb second half hat-trick to seal a memorable win.

Skipper Jamie Brown was full of praise for the whole side and said the penalty save was the definite turning point.
