Canterbury Christchurch's hockey team finished 2nd in the league, seperated from champions Imperial College by the new head-to-head rule. With a superior goal-difference to their London rivals, CCCU are runners-up on the basis that they lost 4-2 at home and won 3-2 away and so on head-to-head, Imperial were a goal better.
It hasn't been a season entirely of doom and gloom, however. Having ammassed an impressive 65 goals over the 9 games, there is reasonable cause for optimism for next season's campaign with team captain Aaron Hudson promising that the squad will be working towards promotion to the top league in the South Eastern conference.

Canterbury went into the game against bitter rivals Kent with high hopes, having lost only one game all season.
On their on pitch and with a massive following of hostile supporters, however, UKC soon took the inititative and battled to a 4-3 win.

The ladies games were both similar stories, with both teams losing out to superior UKC sides.
