Eastbourne College are on the brink of a clean sweep after lifting the boys' under-14s and under-18s Sussex schools crowns at Hurstpierpoint College.

If the under-16s, who have reached their final, triumph it will emulate the hat-trick achieved by the College girls teams in the same age groups.

David Miller, master of hockey, said: "It would be quite something if we managed to win all six titles in the same season. We have a great record in Sussex and must have won 30 trophies now. But we have never had a clean sweep."

The under-18s overcame Bishop Luffa 3-0 with goals by Geoff Campbell, Scott Mattingly and Richard Chilcott.

Campbell gave them an interval lead after netting a reverse stick cross from Andrew Edwards following a pass down the left from Chilcott.

Mattingly scored after Peter Morgan had won the ball in midfield to feed Harry Rimmer.

The outstanding Chilcott flicked the third after a dummy by Howard Hassen following a short corner from Mattingly to Rimmer. James Shore earned the short corner after a through ball by Arran Ryde.

Miller said: "Bishop Luffa did put pressure on our backs and midfielders but lacked penetration. We had some fine performances but my player of the match was Ivan Dovey who was fantastic in defence. He showed such enthusiasm and that inspired the other players to raise their game.

"The team did very well considering they had a tough match against Tonbridge, possibly the best school in Kent, just 24 hours earlier and won it 3-2.

"The coaching of Ian Sands, a county coach, also played a big part in the victory."

Eastbourne College under-14s romped home 8-1 against Hurstpierpoint College with the help of a Piers Harding hat-trick.

Dave Aveling put Hurst ahead with shot that deflected off defender James Stewart beyond goalkeeper Chris Day. Harding struck from two short corners to make it 2-1 at the interval.

Alex Dawkins, Chris Larkin, Ollie Priestman and Chris Grant netted before Harding sealed his treble and Steven Little completed the scoring.

Miller said: "It was close early on but the team ran riot in the end, We only beat them 2-1 recently so it was a big improvement on last time. But the coaching of Andrew Wood, a county coach, Cambridge blue and former pupil, with his assistant Mike Harrison helped improve the skill factor"

"Harry Mills, brother of England player Sophy, was superb in midfield and Chris Grant and Alex Dawkins, who had never played the sport before they came to the college, showed how quickly they are progressing."

Harrison, a Hurst old boy, added: "It gave me extra pleasure as it was against my old school. My loyalties are with Eastbourne now."

The assistant coach runs the under-16s who had their final postponed. His team qualified from the East Sussex section with wins over Brighton College (1-0), St Bede's, Upper Dicker (3-0) and Sackville school, East Grinstead (3-0).

The West Sussex finals were called off due to snow.
