Over the past 2 weeks our Men's 1st team indoor squad have competed in the Premier Division with the hopes of qualifying for the Super 6s final.

 

 In Week 1 (4th/5th January), the squad headed to Whitgift, set out to qualify for the Super 6s final in Derby later this month. The first match saw them take on Southgate, after a thrilling 1st quarter which saw the squad ahead 3-0, with goals from Horler, Sanz Del Campo and Hooper. This strong performance continued for the remainder of the match, finishing with a 7-2 win. (Horler x 3, Francis x 2, Hooper, Sanz Del Campo) 

 

After the strong win, the squad went again, with Canterbury taking the lead 1-0 in the first quarter, the fight for a comeback was on. Entering the final quarter 2-3 to Wimbledon, it was all to play for but an epic 10 minutes saw Wimbledon win 2-7. ( Horler x 4, Francis, Hooper, Scott)

 

Day 2 saw new challenges for the squad as they took on reigning champions Old Georgians. After losing 6-4 in the Final last year, the squad looked to secure a win. Kimber scoring 2 back to back goals in the second quarter but OG’s coming in with a goal to enter halftime 2-1. This mentally followed Wimbledon as they once again gained 2 back to back goals in the 3rd quarter (Newbold, Sanz Del Campo) to finish with a 4-2 victory over last year's champions. 

 

Wimbledon finished day 2 with a 9-4 victory over Sevenoaks (Horler x 3, Francis x 2, Hooper, Kimber, Sanz Del Campo, Wilcher) and top of the table going into week 2. 

 

In week  2 (11th/12th January) the squads headed back to Whitgift to take part in the final matches. A high-scoring 10-2 win over Hampstead and Westminster (Horler x 5, Ansell, Hooper, Francis, Sanz Del Campo, Scott), an 8-6 win over Holcombe ( Ansell x 2, Scott x 2, Turner x 2, Hooper, Horler) and a jampacked 14-1 win over Bath (Horler x 7, Kimber x 2, Fox, Francis, Scott, Turner, Wilcher) 

 

All eyes turned to the final match for the squad, East Grinstead. A neck-and-neck battle which saw Wimbledon down 2-1 at halftime. Goals came back to back from both teams in the 3rd quarter leaving the teams 4-4. With all the play for in the final quarter, EG’s went up to 5-4 but not far behind Scott scores the final goal of the match for Wimbledon leaving with a 5-5 final result. (Scott x 2, Ansell, Hooper, Horler)

 

These outstanding results saw the Men finish top and qualify for the Super 6s final in Derby.
