CBC upset Norths to break unbeaten run in men’s A1 hockey

CBC breathed new life into the battle for the Eastern Goldfields Hockey Association’s men’s A1 flag by last weekend ending Norths’ unbeaten start.

In a clash of the division’s top-two, CBC grabbed a 2-1 victory to break Norths’ 10-game winning sequence.

CBC’s record now comprises eight wins, alongside two losses and a draw.

Mines beat Pegasus, 2-0, in the other clash.

In the women’s A1 division, CBC cruised to an 11th consecutive win in an 8-0 result against YMHC-Pegasus.

Norths and Mines drew, 2-2.

Eastern Goldfields Hockey Association president Daniel Lavery said all grades would again be decided in 2024 on a three-team finals series, as opposed to a top-four.
