The victorious team took full advantage of hosting the event at Plistow Lane in Bromley to win the under 9 mixed team event against some of the south-east's top clubs, including Beckenham, Canterbury, Sunbury and Wimbledon.

Bromley Hockey Club's youth development manager Chris Swan said: "This premier event is an important date in the calendar and demonstrates why hockey is such an excellent team game for boys and girls."

Two hundred and fifty youngsters took part in the challenge and scores for all age groups were aggregated to establish the overall winners.

The Leigh Williams Challenge Cup was presented to overall winners Canterbury by Leslie Hine on behalf of the Bromley-based solicitors.
