East Grinstead beat EHL Premier newcomers Surbiton to secure back-to-back National Indoor titles. The West Sussex side, who won 9-5 at the Nottingham Indoor Arena, will now represent England in the 2011 European indoor competition. Manager Matt Jones said: "The National Indoor Hockey Championships have been a great advertisement for indoor hockey. "The new arena has been fantastic and the electricity of the indoor game should help get people interested." He added: "The semi-final was a tough test because we all know of Reading's quality, and Surbiton's depth and talent was clear for everyone to see here. "It certainly wasn't a one-sided game. We're delighted to have won tonight." Ashley Jackson, who scored four goals, added: "It was good fun. We were confident before the game but always knew anything could happen."
