REPLAYS AND REPORTS
GAME 10: TAMWORTH 6 METRO SOUTH WEST 0 (MEN’S)
A firing Tamworth outfit has proven to be no match for Metro South West after braving chilly morning conditions to achieve a dominant 6 nil victory.
Metro South West had an early chance with a dangerous Ryan Proctor strike bouncing off the right post. The ricochet led to a dangerous counter attack downfield where Tamworth captain Isaac Farmilo fed a ball across the goal face for Jack Watson to score the opener.
Loose passing by Metro South West in the final seconds gave Aaron Knight a chance to extend the lead moments before quarter time, but the shot went wide.
Knight didn’t make the same mistake in the opening minutes of the second quarter with deft touches in the penalty circle leading to a class finish and a 2 nil lead.
The Tamworth side took advantage of a series of penalty corners in the third quarter when Ehrenn Hazell powered home a strike to bottom left of the goals for a three-goal lead.
Two goals to Farmilo and a second to Hazell closed out the game and saw the final scoreline read 6 nil.
GAME 11: LITHGOW 3 NORTHERN SYDNEY AND BEACHES 0 (MEN’S)
Lithgow has chalked up their third straight victory of the championships, celebrating a 3 nil win against Northern Sydney and Beaches.
A class finish in heavy traffic to Brandan Horner in the opening circle gave the country men the lead, which was extended next quarter thanks to Michael Dillon.
A second Horner goal in the final quarter iced the game for the men from Lithgow.
GAME 12: GRAFTON 3 CENTRAL COAST 1 (MEN’S)
Grafton has enjoyed a dominant win to keep themselves in the hunt for a finals berth, beating Central Coast 3 – 1.
A class finish at the far post off the stick of Bradley Smith gave Grafton the early lead, with the outfit remaining in total control until the final siren sounded.
Grafton’s Sam Young made no mistake with a strike midway through the second quarter to double the lead, with Nathan Czinner stepping up just a minute later to power home a goal off a penalty corner.
A goal in the final minutes of the match to Central Coast’s Brinley Gallagher off a penalty corner saw the final score read 3 – 1.
Grafton will take on Tamworth at 5:15pm in a match expected to determine who will make the semi finals.
GAME 13: TAMWORTH 1 NEWCASTLE 1 (WOMEN’S)
A hard-fought battle between Tamworth and Newcastle has ended with both teams sharing the spoils in an entertaining clash for the neutrals.
The first half threatened to end scoreless until Tamworth’s Alice Arnott broke the deadlock in the final stages, finding space in the penalty circle and powering home the goal.
The Newcastle team raised the intensity in the third quarter with Estelle Hughes scoring the equaliser to set up a tantalising final quarter.
Both teams pushed hard for the winning goal with the Novocastrians at one stage of the final quarter effectively camped in front of the opposition goals, but the match ultimately finished 1 -1.
GAME 14: NORTH WEST SYDNEY 2 NORTHERN SYDNEY & BEACHES 0 (WOMEN’S)
North West Sydney has taken care of a tough Northern Sydney and Beaches opposition with a goal in each half enough to earn the win.
The women from North West Sydney had all the momentum in the opening half with desperate defence and impressive goalkeeping from the opposition seeing the score stay level until a penalty corner just minutes before halftime.
Hannah Kable made no mistake at the top of the penalty circle and powered home a low strike to earn a one-goal lead for North West Sydney.
Northern Sydney and Beaches kept threatening to equalise with but North West Sydney’s Zoe MacMillan put an end to that with a classy finish in the fourth quarter.
The victory places North West Sydney in pole position to finish the group stages on top of Pool A.
GAME 15: ILLAWARRA SOUTH COAST 2 BATHURST 1 (WOMEN’S)
Illawarra South Coast has secured a narrow win against a spirited Bathurst team who threw everything into the entertaining contest.
Each team scored a goal in the opening half with the intensity rising deep into the match as each side hustled to come out on top.
Illawarra South Coast captain Maddi Smith broke the game open by smashing the ball into the right off the goals off a penalty corner to take a 2 - 1 lead.
The match looked to be over when Illawarra South Coast was awarded a penalty stroke but spectacular goalkeeping from Rene Hunter kept Bathurst in the match.
Hunter thwarted another attacking raid just a minute later to keep life in the contest but unfortunately Bathurst was unable to put away an equaliser.
GAME 16: NEWCASTLE 2 CENTRAL COAST 1 (WOMEN’S)
Newcastle have recorded a come-from-behind victory against their Central Coast neighbours to record their first win of the championships.
An early goal had Central Coast take the lead but almost immediately the Novocastrians were pressing to draw the match.
In the final stages of the first half about five successive penalty corners were defended by Central Coast, protecting their narrow one goal lead.
In the third quarter a classy strike across the face of goalkeeper into goals by Bianca Cheetham equalised the match and brought the match to life.
A late goal, deflected past the goalkeeper at the far post off a penalty corner, gave the Newcastle team the win with just minutes remaining.
