St Albans earned two points from a pair of 3-3 draws against teams around them at the top of the East League Premier Division table.
The Oaklands College-based hockey club’s men started the weekend with a home game against top of the table City of Peterborough on Saturday, before travelling to fourth-placed Bedford on Sunday.
And when the dust settled the Tangerines are third, two points behind Wapping and four behind Peterborough, although with a game in hand on both.
Saturday’s draw saw Mark Lowden fire Saints into a 2-0 lead before Peterborough pulled one back before half-time.
Matt Davey made it 3-1 but after missing a few more golden opportunities the visitors fought back and equalised inside the last 10 minutes.
