BEESTON 5 - 2 HAMPSTEAD

Beeston's double header weekend got off to an indifferent start as they let in Will Naylor in the third minute who dutifully put the Londoners into the lead.

Beeston equalised with their first penalty corner and added to the score line with their second in the 35th minute, both goals dispatched by Australian, Andrew Monte.

Martin Jones danced around the Hampstead circle before increasing the home sides lead three minutes into the second half. Hampstead came back into the match as Ian Roberts deflected home their third penalty corner in the 47th minute.

The result was finally put to bed in the 57th minute when Martin Jones raced at the Hampstead defence and David Griffiths smashed home his pass.

Adam Dixon finished off a comprehensive win with a penalty corner flick high into the net in the 69th minute, to extend the Bees unbeaten run of domestic and European to five games. The Beeston squad included twins, Ben and Sam Arnold for the first time; a pairing bound to keep most umpires on their mettle.
