New Zealand women have drawn their home hockey test series against world champions Argentina. The Black Sticks 2-1 win in the third test levelled the series at 1-1 with one draw.

Tuesday night's win  was a major turnaround from the second test the day before, which finished 6-1 in favour of the visiting las Leonas.

Canterbury grabbed a last-gasp lifeline to premier division survival and sent Brooklands MU back to the regional conferences, as the men's England Hockey League regular season ended on a dramatic note.

Michael Farrer's after-the-whistle corner goal took Canterbury to a 2-1 home win over Brooklands MU, and into ninth place, one point ahead of the Manchester side who are now automatically relegated.
