Warwick produced a fine second-half display to ease past Sutton and keep pace with the division's frontrunners.

Oli Hobbs opened the scoring for Warwick in the 15th minute but they found themselves 2-1 down with 20 minutes left to play.

The hosts then clicked into gear, with James Barrett crashing the ball into the Sutton D for Ajan Reginald to deflect past the visitors’ keeper.

Martyn Stickley converted a one-on-one and as the visitors chased the game, Warwick took advantage.

A slick short-corner routine was finished with aplomb by captain Tim Williams-Ellis who then converted a penalty flick after the visitors’ keeper clattered Stevie Gibson.

With Sutton now without a keeper, Pete Newton added a sixth for the home side.

Warwick Men’s 2nds suffered a 14-0 defeat at East Midlands Premier leaders Repton who featured a South African World Cup player among their ranks.

The men’s 3rds got off to a fine start at Stourport 3rds, taking the lead after a neat short-corner routine was finished off by Tom Booker.

However, Stourport went for the aerial route and equalised shortly before half-time.

Stourport then produced a late winner, benefiting from the umpire being unsighted as the ball bounced off a home foot in the build-up to the goal.

Goals from John Sawson (2)and Harry Menasche earned Warwick Men’s 4ths a 3-1 win over the University of Warwick 4ths.

Warwick Women’s 1sts missed a chance to climb off the bottom of Midlands Feeder West after playing out a goalless draw with fellow strugglers Edgbaston Ladies 2nds.

After a sluggish start from the visitors, it needed Alex Hill to take a shot to the chest to prevent Edgbaston opening the scoring.

Warwick battled their way into the game but had to withstand a succession of short corners after the interval before enjoying their best period.

Unfortunately, the nearest they came to breaking the deadlock was a reverse-stick effort from Izzy Hurst which was well dealt with by the hosts.

Warwick started slowly in their early morning match and quickly found themselves two goals down.

Liz Holding pulled a goal back and the visitors were disappointed not to be awarded an equaliser just before the break.

A slick passing move allowed Vicky Allison to equalise in the second half but Rugby moved back in front when Anne Murray was unable to keep out a penalty flick.

Two added-time penalty corners were kept out by the home side who were then aggrieved when a penalty flick was awarded. Holding kept her cool to ensure honours ended even.
