SAXONS made a 65 mile round trip for scant reward after losing their way against Crowborough in this Men's Open Hockey Division Five match.

Sol Buckner's troops were on the back foot from the start being overrun in middle of the pitch.

A tactical switch saw 4-4-2 changed to 4-5-1 but the hosts still found a way through from a short corner.
Saxons held firm until the break and looked more solid in all departments.
But disaster struck minutes after the break when a defensive mistake let a Crowborough striker fire a shot under keeper Derek Pharoah.

Then on 42 minutes another mistake allowed the same striker to rifle in from top D.

Saxons rallied briefly and earned a short corner on the hour which Jo Woodford gratefully fired straight past the keeper.

But Crowborough were hungry for more and they grabbed a fourth from a short corner on 65 minutes to wrap up the game.

Skipper Buckner said: "We weren't at our best and paid the price for a some mistakes.
"We're looking forward to our first home game in six weeks."
