Poynton fought back from two goals down to win 3-2 with Katie Maltman scoring twice to set up a famous victory. Olton lead the embryonic table after beating Ipswich 4-0 but this success is tempered with the sad news that Mike Austin, a stalwart of their club and Midlands hockey, passed away at the weekend.
Bowdon are second thanks to a 6-0 victory against Chelmsford which saw yet another four-timer from the prolific Tina Cullen. In the other game in the Division Canterbury secured their second draw in two games in a 1-1 draw at Trojans.
