Vikings fought back as the big match in the men’s Premier League ended all square on Saturday.

Neil Jacobs and Ollie Webster had put Valkyrs A on course for victory before a second half double from Conor Byrne earned Vikings a point.

That was possibly the result reigning champions Bacchas A wanted as they produced a super second half show to demolish Valkyrs B.

After just one goal in the first half, Bacchas turned on the style and romped to a 10-0 success.

Ian Perry and Richard Gelder were the marksmen as Vikings B defeated Bacchas B, who replied through Ali Slack, while doubles from Paul Kelly and Kieron Collister helped Castletown A to a 7-2 victory over Harlequins.

Ian Wrigley, Dan Stewart and Richard McAleer grabbed the others with Les Callow scoring twice for Harlequins.

It’s advantage Vikings A in the women’s Premier League as the reigning champions saw off Bacchas A in a seven goal thriller.

A Kim Carney hat-trick and a Kat Gatherer goal sealed a 4-3 success.

Niamh Goddard, Cat Cox and Louise Corkill had kept Bacchas in the hunt.

It was one-way traffic for Valkyrs A as they saw off Ramsey A 5-0, courtesy of strikes from Emma Faulkner (two), Andrea Kneen, Ashley Hall and Hannah Heselton.
