It was the third time Saxons have hit double figures in South Hockey League Sussex Area - Division One this term and it came against a team they drew with in the reverse fixture.

With fortune on their side for a change of late, Saxons were in front after barely 60 seconds and were three-up after 10 minutes en route to a 6-1 half time lead. They added four more in the second period.
