They went down 5-2 at Bowdon Hightown to record their 16th defeat in 18 games in the Slazenger English Premier Division this season.

Craig Boyne’s 19th-minute goal cancelled out an early opener for the home side but two penalty strokes allowed Bowdon to take a 3-1 lead and they made it four soon after.

Aaron Hudson pulled one back for the city club on the hour but the fifth arrived four minutes later to seal another gloomy away trip for Canterbury.

The result means Holcombe finish the season in third place.
