Aldershot / Farnham 2 Andover 3

Andover's first fixture after the Christmas break was a visit to struggling Aldershot and Farnham, but it was Andover who struggled to play hockey as they continually squandered possession.

Against a team they comfortably beat on the opening day of the season Andover took a while to get going.

It took until midway through the first half for Andover to threaten the home side's defence and with a period of pressure they got the first goal.
