Claire Thomas scored all four goals as Isca University won 4-0 at Stourport in the Investec Women’s Hockey League.

Thomas topped the Women’s Conference West scoring charts last term with 18 goals.

The 21-year-old University of Exeter student’s impressive four-goal haul at Stourport – all from open play - takes this season’s tally to six goals in five games and hoists Isca up to second on goal difference.

Thomas deflected in a pacey free hit from Zoe Burrell to open the scoring on 25 minutes before adding a quick fire second half hat-trick in the space of eight minutes, 41, 45 and 49.

Lily Owsley also scored a hat-trick in a 4-0 away win, as Firebrands won at Taunton Vale.

Owsley (7, 13 and 38pc) proved too hot to handle for promoted Vale. Louisa Denman also scored for Brands, following an 18^th minute penalty corner.

Welsh ace Carys Hopkins scored both Swansea City goals in a 2-1 win at Staines after the home side took a 40^th minute lead. Hopkins levelled from a 45^th minute penalty corner before adding the 62^nd minute winner as Spartans claimed their first win of the season.

Buckingham remain top of the table with five wins from five following a 2-0 victory at third placed Gloucester City.

Jo Leigh scored a 61^st minute penalty corner leveller as Clifton fought back from 2-1 down at half time to draw 2-2 at home to University of Birmingham in the Premier Division.

Abigail Porter got Clifton off to a flyer by scoring in the second minute.
