Elsewhere in the club, the men's third team put yet another East London side in the chase for promotion after stealing second place from East End rivals Wapping in East England Hockey League Division 6(SE), with a frantic 5-3 win enough to give East London the victory.
The result of the day, however, was a 10-3 win for the Men's fourth XI against a high-flying Old de Ferrian's side.
The fourths started off on the front foot and almost immediately won a short corner which saw Mike Birnie score his first for the club.
Further goals from Matt Thomas, James Conway, Ash Bakrania and Chris Howard as well as a hat-trick from Tom Habibi secured the win.
