Newark hockey men beat Derby to stay top
Newark Hockey Men maintained their top of the table position after a 4-2 victory of Derby at the Magnus in a match that saw their normally placid coach Paul Halfpenny sent to the stands after a fiery exchange with the umpire.
Newark went behind to Derby's first attack after four minutes. Parity was restored on 30 minutes when Ryan Foster fired home
HT 1 -1
Foster put the home side ahead 10 minutes into the second period only for the visitors to fire straight back.
Alex Davis returned from his yellow card to score a brace in last 10 minutes and secure the points but the main talking point was the coaches first card of his managerial career.
