Hockey: Lewis the saviour for Reading

Reading lost their 100 per cent record in a 2-2 draw with Cannock at Sonning Lane yesterday, in a game in which they twice came from behind and were saved time again by their England goalkeeper, Jimi Lewis.

In a string of brave penalty corner saves and also a stick save at a penalty stroke from Jon Wyatt, Lewis stood between Reading and a large win. Ben Sharpe opened the scoring for the visitors while Tom Bertram equalised from the first of Reading's 13 penalty corners. Simon Organ then scored at a penalty corner before Ken Robinson brought his league tally to 12.

Jimmy Wallis scored twice against his old club Teddington as Surbiton won 2-1 to move into second place.

In Division Two Belper opened a two point gap at the top by beating Oxford Hawks 10-0 on Saturday and Blueharts 7-1 yesterday. There were no surprises in the Women's Second Round Cup with Sarah Bamfield scoring five times in Ipswich's 12-0 victory over Gore Court.
