Sport: Top sides draw blank
For most teams there is nothing sweeter than the gleeful pride that can be taken from beating your closest rivals on the open field. Such satisfaction was denied to both sides on Friday as the two heavyweights fought out a 0-0 draw, but the Worcester captain can draw solace from a result that could be decisive at the close of the campaign....

Sport: Oxford University Blues vs Oxford City Zodiacs
Following last weekend's narrow defeat of the University in the Town vs Gown match, 3-2, the Blues were confident they could turn the score in their favour in this Saturday's league game. They opened strongly with defensemen Katherine Ryder and Sahar Gordiz shutting down any attempted attack by the Zodiacs, then winger Lisa Villeneuve carrying the puck all the way up the ice, and followed by fellow forwards Freddie Fok and Emma Eckered put pressure on the Zodiacs' experienced netminder, Dee Taylor. It was eventually Eckered who managed to poke the puck over the goal line under Taylor's stomach to give the Blues a 1-0 lead. However, 4 minutes later a breakaway from ex-Blues player Amy Hadden drew the Zodiacs level, and this was how the period ended. ...
