Despite a 3-1 win over Royal Pengouin in their final pool A match yesterday, Wanderers were pipped to a promotion pool spot after finishing a point behind the Belgians and Bowdon.
Helen Delmee had put Royal 1-0 up early on, but the hosts responded with goals from Rachel Osborne, Vikki Bunce and Charlotte Watson to claim their second win of the competition.
Unfortunately the margin of victory was insufficient, giving their opponents an all-important bonus point and consigning Wanderers to the relegation pool.

Wanderers rallied from the disappointment, dispatching five goals past Highway in a comfortable 5-2 win last night.
Vikki Bunce was again the star of the show, firing home a hat-trick of penalty corner goals and a penalty stroke.
Emily Dark notched the fifth on the stroke of full time.

In today’s match against Mladost, Wanderers went in front early in the contest courtesy of a Bunce penalty corner, only for Perta Dervaric to equalise in the 16th minute.
Rachel Osborne restored the lead for the Dundonians shortly after, but Marijan Franic again drew Mladost level shortly before half-time.
Dervaric’s second goal at the mid-point of the second half provided the Croatians with the lead for the first time in the contest, but three goals inside four minutes from Bunce, Charlotte Watson and Dark before full-time ensured Wanderers rounded off the competition with a win.
