Victories over Canterbury and Olton and West Warwickshire mean the Berkshire
side are the only ones with a 100 per cent record heading into Sunday's
fixtures.
Reigning champions Reading were narrowly beaten 6-5 by Bowdon Hightown, but
ended the day on a high with a 5-0 win over Leicester to claw their way back
to fifth in the table.
Last year's beaten finalists, Sutton Coldfield are one of four unbeaten
teams and lay third following a 4-2 win over Harleston Magpies and a 5-5
draw with Canterbury.
Slough had Alex Scott in good form, and she ended the day with five goals -
two against Harleston Magpies and a hat-trick against Canterbury.
Ruth Gordon bagged a hat-trick in East Grinstead's 9-2 win over Olton and
West Warwickshire, and added another in the 3-3 draw with Bowdon Hightown,
for whom Tina Cullen scored five times throughout the day.
Also scoring five goals was Emma Lee-Smith of Harleston Magpies; a hat-trick
in their 4-3 win over Leicester, and another two in their defeat to Sutton
Coldfield.
Canterbury will be disappointed to end day one without a win, but they face
Olton and Harleston Magpies on Sunday and so will be aiming to climb the
table.
The Maxinutrition Hockey 5s Finals will be played on 2 February 2014 at
