Surbiton also fought back after trailing at the interval to beat another Spanish side, Pedralbes, 4-2. In the Junior section Felsted School edged home 4-3 against FC Barcelona.

Birmingham, Kidderminster and Worcester will host the Coaching Solutions Indoor Tournament this weekend, featuring 16 men's sides and eight women's.

Although Olton and West Warwick won last year's first women's tournament they have opted for Barcelona this year. Glasgow Western and Penarth are the guest sides.

The men's tournament is strengthened by Avoca (from Ireland), Dundee Wanderers and the Welsh Champions Swansea Bay. The women's and men's finals will be at Cocks Moors Woods, the Birmingham centre, starting from 2.30 tomorrow with the lesser finals at Perdiswell and Wyre Forest Glades.
