Cannock cling to top spot

In spite of being held to a 3-3 draw at East Grinstead, Cannock hold on to their position at the top of the Men's National League Premier Division, writes Brian Tatlock. Southgate, 4-0 winners away at Guildford, crept to within one point of the leaders. At the bottom, Doncaster came from behind to beat Hounslow 4-2 for their first win of the season. Mandy Nicholls scored twice in Slough's 6-3 win against Trojans as the Berkshire club maintained their three point lead over Ipswich at the top of the Women's Premier. Ipswich won the first leg of their double header with Sutton Coldfield 2-1. The teams meet in the Cup today.
