HOCKEY: First league win gives Rotherham fresh hope

They beat City of York's second string 4-2 at Bawtry Road to give a shot in the arm to their relegation fight near the foot of Yorkshire & North East Division One.

After drawing at York earlier in the season, Rotherham got the job done this time with a great team performance built on good organisation.

Fraser Andrews and Bertie Coombes got two goals apiece in a 4-2 win.

Rotherham are away to second-placed Ben Rhydding on Saturday.

The ladies first team's strong season in YNE One continued with a 2-0 victory away to fellow promotion chasers Kingston Upon Hull.

Scorers were Rebecca Lee after a one-on-one with the goalkeeper and Mia Bacon with a tap-in from a penalty corner.

Rotherham, top of the table, are at home to Leeds Adel on Saturday (1pm).

The ladies second team were unlucky to lose 3-2 to Chesterfield 2s, Amber Finlay and Jess Oldacre netting the replies.

The men's 2s started off strongly away at Chesterfield 2s with Toby Cumming and Jacob Walters giving them a 2-0 lead.

It didn't last as Chesterfield responded with three quick goals. Will Harris scored Rotherham's third but the home team responded again to prevail 5-3.

The development team went down 3-1 to Sheffield Hallam Development.
