There was cause for celebration as Cambridge Nomads Hockey Club last weekend as the ladies’ first team secured promotion from the East Women’s League Division 3 North West.
A 3-0 home win at the expense of Kettering II ensured that the squad will be playing at a higher level next term.
Goals from Ali Billing and Ellie Martin established a 2-0 cushion at half-time, and Sarah Warren added a third in the second half to complete the job.
Nomads will be crowned champions if they win their final game of the season at Newmarket on Saturday (23 March).
Elsewhere, Cambridge Nomads picked up their fourth point of the East Men’s League Division 1 North campaign with a 1-1 draw against Cambridge.
Mel Ragnauth was on target for bottom-of-the-table Nomads, who have already had their relegation confirmed. Also drawing 1-1 were Cambridge Nomads II in their East Men’s League Division 3 North West clash against Cambridge City V.
Richard Lloyd was the scorer for the seconds, while Steve Hodsdon, Temoc Rodriguez, Matthew Huchu and Tom Eve all netted in Cambridge Nomads III’s 4-2 win over March II in the East Men’s League Division 4 North West.
