Any lingering promotion hopes were extinguished as Hardly lost 5-0 against Brussia Teeth.
Athletic had beaten Teeth 6-2 earlier in the season but were defeated after a clinical display, mixed with some indifferent defending, left them overran and unable to keep up with their opponents.
Hardly had been without a game for two weeks due to last weeks cancellation and were slow out of the blocks, going behind early on, and although they were able to put up a good show once they got going their finishing was erratic and Brussia were able to put away the chances that fell to them, that finishing proving the difference.
