Revenge is sweet as returning Team Bath Buccs keep the pressure on
Team Bath Buccs kept the pressure on the three sides above them in the England Hockey League Men's Conference West table with a 3-1 victory over Cheltenham.
Playing their first match of the calendar year, Buccs took the lead midway through the first half when Matt Ruxton followed up Ben Carless’s penalty corner attempt to flick home past Giles Rooke.

Another penalty corner brought about the second goal on the stroke of half-time when captain George Farrant fired home a deflected effort to put daylight between Buccs and their visitors.
Will Pearce flicked home for Cheltenham with ten minutes remaining but any hopes of a Cheltenham fight back were quashed in the 64th minute when Tim Davenport scored Buccs’ third on his reverse.
