Wimbledon and CAM92 took the spoils from their respective Ranking Match showdowns, earning 13th place overall for their nations and important points for the EHL Ranking Table.
Sam Hooper’s quartet of goals saw Wimbledon run up an 8-1 win over SK Slavia Prague to win the extra ranking points on offer for England and finish in 13th place overall for this EHL season.
He opened the scoring from the penalty spot, the first of three strokes he would score on the day, in addition to a corner drag-flick.
Jules Bournac added a rebound off the impressive Jakub Bogar’s pads in the first quarter while James Vallely tapped in en route for a 5-0 half-time lead.
Louis Tipper and Eddie Harper also got in on the act in the second half as they came within close-range of one of the biggest EHL wins for an English club.
East Grinstead’s record remains intact at 8-0 against Montrouge in 2012; Wimbledon did beat SV Arminen on a 9-0 margin during the second where field goals counted for two points, netting five times in that game.
In the second ranking game, Antonin Igau’s glorious hat trick propelled CAM 92 to a memorable 3-2 win over a HC Wien side bouyed by their large travelling crowd.
It looked comfortable for a while as Igau’s drag-flick in the first quarter and then a stroke in Q2 gave them a healthy advantage.
But Wien came out firing in the second half and cut the deficit through Max Meisel in the 39th minute and the Austrian side made lots of moves to try and get an equaliser.
The defining moment, however, came from Igau who broke forward from halfway with the ball and then fired the ball into the roof of the net.
Kai Kokolakis did get one back for Wien to the delight of their crowd on the final hooter but it was CAM who had the victory.
