T&T duo, Teague Mar­cano and Kwand­wane Browne both failed to get among the goals as Hamp­stead & West­min­ster end­ed the 2021/2022 Eng­land Men’s Hock­ey League Pre­mier Di­vi­sion “Top Six” com­pe­ti­tion with a 4-2 loss to de­throned cham­pi­ons Sur­biton on Sat­ur­day.

Strikes from James Gall, Alex Williams, Ben Boon and Luke Tay­lor saw Sur­biton seal vic­to­ry while Rho­dri Fur­long and Sam French were on tar­get for Hamp­stead & West­min­ster.

With the loss, Hamp­stead & West­min­ster end­ed in the fourth spot on the ta­ble with 32 points from 20 match­es, while Sur­biton end­ed third with 42 points.

Wim­ble­don sealed sec­ond place in the ta­ble and Eu­ro­pean hock­ey next sea­son with a 3-2 vic­to­ry over cham­pi­ons Old Geor­gians.

David Con­don, Liam Ansell and Ben Arnold—in his fi­nal match for the club—struck for Wim­ble­don to see them re­main ahead of Sur­biton in the Top 6, with two goals from Sam Ward not enough for Old Geor­gians to fin­ish the sea­son with a vic­to­ry.

And in the oth­er Top 6 match Hol­combe picked up a dra­mat­ic 7-4 vic­to­ry over East Grin­stead led by braces from both Tim Guise-Brown and Jake Owens.

The trio of Dan Ed­wards, Craig Wild and Greg Nolan hand­ed Hol­combe vic­to­ry in the 11-goal thriller with Luke Hol­land scor­ing twice for East Grin­stead, with fur­ther goals com­ing from Fin­lay Boothroyd and Jar­ryd Jones.

Last Jan­u­ary, both T&T men were part of the Hamp­stead & West­min­ster team which fell to a 4-2 de­feat against Wim­ble­don in their all-Lon­don Eng­land Hock­ey League Su­per6s Men’s Pre­mier Di­vi­sion In­door semi­fi­nal at the Cop­per Box Are­na, with Mar­cano scor­ing 16 goals in the com­pe­ti­tion.

Mar­cano nets in fifth place EHL League Rank­ings Cup win

Be­fore the fi­nal round of match­es last week­end, Mar­cano was on the score­sheet while Browne was in­flu­en­tial through­out in help­ing Hamp­stead & West­min­ster to a fifth-place fin­ish at the 2022 Ter­rass Eu­ro Hock­ey League (EHL) League Rank­ing Cup thanks to a 7-1 vic­to­ry over Three Rock Rovers in Spain on April 18.

French and Matthew Guise-Brown got braces for the Lon­don side, with Matthew Ramshaw hav­ing opened the scor­ing and Ru­pert Ship­per­ley and Mar­cano al­so got on the score­sheet.

When the tour­na­ment served off, Mar­cano net­ted the late equalis­er for his club with one sec­ond left on the clock in a 3-3 reg­u­la­tion-time draw with Ger­many’s Mannheimer HC, the side who knocked them out of the Knock­out last-16 round of last sea­son’s Rank­ing Cup in Oc­to­ber on a shootout.

And it was the same out­come again at Club Egara, Spain as Mannheimer again tri­umphed via the penal­ty shoot-out 5-4 with Mar­cano, first scor­ing in the first-five penal­ties which end­ed 3-3 be­fore he had his sud­den-death ef­fort saved by Mannheim keep­er Lukas Stumpf.
