Hockey: Another national competition win for Alderley Edge

_D__1941 Alderley Edge captain, Phil Benton with Over 40s shield

The sprightly over 40's Men's team beat Havering HC 2-0 on Sunday in the final of the NOW Pensions EHB Shield Knockout competition.

The Shield competition brings together veterans teams from all over England in friendly but fierce competition.

The Final was played over at Beeston, Nottingham and watched by a great family crowd of travelling Edge supporters.

Edge dominated play throughout with Neil Hanley opening the scoring with a neat deflection from a penalty corner. Ben Hodkinson added the second with a penalty corner drag flick to secure victory.

What a season of success its been at The Edge with 5 sides crowned champions of their leagues and the boys under 14's through to the National finals this Saturday over at Wakefield.
