Bacchas seal men's title in tight showdown

Draw with Vikings confirms silverware

Bacchas "A" are Rossborough Men's Hockey Premier League champions.

They drew 1-1 with Vikings "A" in a tight and tense title showdown.

Bacchas were a point ahead of their opponents going into the winner-takes-all contest so a draw was good enough.

Both goals came from short-corners with leading scorer Andrew Whiting giving Bacchas the lead but Tom Wilson equalised for Vikings.

There were plenty of chances in the second half including a missed penalty for Bacchas but the sides remained level at the final whistle.

It was a treble celebration for Bacchas in the men's league as the "B" team sealed the Division One crown on Wednesday evening and Bacchas Colts sealed the Division Two silverware with a 3-2 victory over Castletown "B".

Elsewhere, Valkyrs "B" claimed Women's Division One with a 100% record and without conceding a goal with an 8-0 thrashing of Harlequins "A".

Vikings "C" ladies are confirmed as winners of Division Two on goal difference as Bacchas "C" couldn't win by the landslide required but levelled on points following a 3-1 success over Valkyrs "C".
