Both Canterbury's men and ladies

5-3 but were edged out by Reading 5-4.
Sarah Kerly scored nine goals for
the city club while Eliza Brett added seven.
The men - at St George's Park,
Burton - suffered a nightmare start, losing 11-2 to defending
champions East Grinstead but rallied to beat Loughborough Students
7-5, Bowdon Hightown 2-1 and drew 5-5 with Reading.
Ben Allberry scored nine goals
after switching from playing outdoors for BromBecks to represent
Canterbury indoors.
With four games played and four to

fifth.
