Here is a still of the moment the ball hits EG’s Simon Faulkner on the side of the head while he is stood on the post.
Kampong scored from the resulting flick, but, was it going in?
We’ll let you decide (flicker was second from left Kampong player).
Men's 5's lose 1-2 to Rickmansworth
— Hertford Hockey Club (@Hertford_HC) October 11, 2014
It’s all over in Barcelona.
Kampong 3-2 East Grinstead.
And that’s the end of the EHL action from Spain for today.
But delight back on home turf for Surbiton as they get their second with 6 minutes to play against Hampstead & Westminster.
Score: @SurbitonHC 2-0 @HandWHC 64min #MHLPrem #NOWHockey #MDL

Oh no, it could be heartbreak for EG as Jonker deflects home a third for Kampong with just a minute to go in the EHL Round 1 key fixture.
Results: LHC 1s 2-2 Warwick….LHC 2s 0-8 @NottsUniHC
— Leicester HC (@LeicesterHC) October 11, 2014
About 10 minutes left to go at Sugden Road and no change in the score. Surbiton looking set for the three points if they can hold on.
Score Still: @SurbitonHC 1-0 @HandWHC 59mins gone #MHLPrem #NOWHockey #MDL
— Thea Hitchcock (@TheaHitchcock) October 11, 2014
Havenga scores for Kampong to the bottom right. Kampong 2-2 East Grinstead.
Some debate over whether the shot that hit an EG defender on the line was going in or not. Looked like it was heading wide to us. We are watching replays to confirm.
Kampong been given a penalty stroke and a chance to equalise with 5 mins to play.
Praise for umpires.
Loved the ladies 1s umpires today @BromBeckHC @EastRegionEH #wiredup #wayforward #control
— Crostyx Hockey Club (@CrostyxHC) October 11, 2014
So has anyone had a better day than a 9-0 win? Or a worse day than having a car full of players breakdown en route, before losing the match?
YHC both winning and losing Match Day Live at the moment.
Oh dear. Looks like the Yateley men’s first team didn’t have quite such a positive afternoon.

This does nothing to dispel my theory of the ladies teams and high-scoring games today. Well done YHC.
The Lincoln ladies have been equalled. Did anyone score more than nine today?
9-0 win for @yateleyhockey ladies 3s. Great game with some great goals.

EHL match between Kampong and East Grinstead now back underway with 12 minutes left in the fourth quarter.
EG still lead 2-1.
Ouch! Looks like pitchside photographer Simon Parker has got a little closer to the action than he would have liked today.

Players at the EHL in Barcelona have been told a 10-15 minute wait before the lights come back on. The teams have returned to the dressing room to keep warm.
More muddy hockey players. Looks like they’re just finished mountain biking, not playing hockey.

All the high-scoring games today seem to be ladies sides.
Such a good win for @AlderleyEdgeHC ladies 1's against Oldham beating them 7-0!! Love my team☺️
Gleghorne gets a second goal to give EG a 2-1 lead over Kampong.
Another high-scorer.
L2s lost 6-0 at home to @OldGeorgiansHoc L1s.
— Reigate Priory HC (@ReigatePrioryHC) October 11, 2014
Over in Barcelona a lack of concentration by the EG defence left Robert Kemperman unmarked and he smashed home an equaliser.
Score there 1-1, the Grinstead goal coming from a low Gleghorne dragflick.
Worcester Hockey are seeing the bright side of a draw.
Mens 1s drew 3-3 so still undefeated!

We’re still looking for your #awaygameselfies. There must be some happy hockey players in a minibus, coach or car who want to share their smiling faces with us.
Sally Walton speaks well of the quality of hockey she’s finding in the conference in 2014.
The standard of hockey being played in the conference is so much higher this season. Every game is competitive.
In case you missed it earlier, here is the action from when Surbiton and H&W clashed in 2011.
Over in Barcelona still no score between Kampong and EG.
Surbiton vs Hampstead & Westminster gets underway in 5 minutes and an hour later Wimbledon take on Reading at the Kings College School.
Good to be back to winning ways with @wbthc men's 2s, 5-1 at home to Dunham Uni 4s

Over in Barcelona, East Grinstead have just got underway with their 2nd EHL Round 1 match, taking on Kampong.
They’ll be hoping for a brighter start than yesterday versus Dinamo Stroitel, but with ultimately the same result.

The Tassie Tigers who have won the 2014 Australian Hockey League. A massive result for a team previously regarded as the league’s underdogs – the majority of Kookaburra players have traditionally hailed from other states.
The Tigers came from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with the Thundersticks from Western Australia.
In the women’s competition the title went to New South Wales, who also battled back from 2-0 down.

Having been 1-0 up, it sounds like there’s been an England Cricket-esque collapse for the Beeston ladies this afternoon.

Exciting times in the EHL over in Barcelona.
After East Grinstead had to battle back from 3-1 down yesterday to avoid an upset and beat Dinamo Stroital (4-3), Spanish side Atletic Terrassa find themselves 2-0 down to Austrian side SV Arminen, who yesterday were the first Austrian team to win a match in the EHL.
Will there be an upset today?
In the earlier match, a hat-trick from Christopher Zeller helped Rott Weiss Koln to a 5-0 win over WKS Grunwald Poznan.
Surbiton meet Hampstead & Westminster in the men’s Premier Division later this afternoon.
With the teams currently sat in 2nd and 3rd place in the table respectively, this is set to be cracking match. Will H&W’s Kiwi import Andy Hayward find the back of the net with a trademark dragflick? Or will Matt Daly silence his opponents with one of his moments of magic?
Here’s what happened when the two sides met in 2011
Great start to the day with the Ladies 4s beating White Eagles 2s 4-0!!
