Kelburne face European relegation

KELBURNE face the drop from the EuroHockey Club Trophy in Rome after they were thumped 6-0 by Belgian side ARA La Gantoise, and occupy bottom place in the pool.

The Belgians needed six goals to top the group but were only three up midway through the second half. In a desperate attempt to secure the remaining three goals, La Gantoise coach gambled by taking off his goalkeeper and launched an all out attack with 11 outfield players.
