PETE Hall scored against his old team as Bromsgrove Hockey Club's 1st XI defeated Yardley 3-1 on Saturday.

Bromsgrove took a big step towards safety in the West Midlands Division One by defeating their bogey side.

Bevan Edwards opened the scoring, but Yardley equalised just after half time.

Hall was on target before Edwards grabbed his second.

Captain Matt Russell said: "I thought we'd blew it when they scored, but we played well."

Bromsgrove take on Barlaston at home on Saturday (1pm start).
