Men's hockey

Patriots vs Co-op
Collie Men's Hockey Association's round 4 saw last year's premiers Patriots take on Co-op, looking for their first win for the year.
With Patriots depleted due to football commitments it was always going to be a 50-50 game.
The game began as a tight tussle with neither team willing to give up a goal.
Short corner specialist Gareth Old broke the deadlock in the first half and the game went into the major break at 1-0 with Patriots needing a big second half.
The Patriots midfield of Ben Forrest and Ethan Williams were always a threat running at Co-op but some good defensive work from Benson Sanford kept them in check.
With the game in the balance and tempers flaring up a disappointing exchange saw three people sent off.
With 15 minutes to go in the second half, Gareth Old popped up again and gave Co-op a 2-0 lead.
The last part of the game saw some staunch defensive play with Shane Sheperdson and Chris Shannon doing well for Co-op and Patriots respectively as Co-op finished the game in front 2-0.
Best Co-op: Gareth Old, Shane Sheperdson and Liam Carlton.
Co-op Goals: Gareth Old 2.
Best Patriots: Ben Forrest, Chris Shannon and Brant Della.
Centaurs Red vs Mustangs
The second game for the weekend saw Centaurs Red take on Mustangs.
With numbers low for both teams it was a 10 versus 10 affair.
Centaurs Red were strong at the back as usual repelling Mustang attacks for most of the first half.
With veteran Tony Pitts running the defensive line Centaurs were in the game until Connor Mumme scored before half-time.
Mustangs threatened to score another before the half with Dave O'Brien and Tim Smithal creating chances from midfield, but Centaurs stood strong with Cam Johnson in goals.
The second half was an arm wrestle with Mustangs striking first through Dave O'Brien from a short corner.
With Dane Marley making it 3-0 with a great forward run just a few minutes later it looked like the game was over.
Centaurs rallied and with Brent Guilfoyle bossing the midfield centaurs were able to score with Jacob Ramshaw running hard to make it 3-1.
The final seven minutes saw Centaurs working hard to reduce the deficit with Nathan Macintyre working well on the wing but Mustangs held them at bay to run out 3-1 winners.
Best Mustangs: Paul Peliciari, Dave O'Brien and Tim Smithal.
Mustangs Goals: Connor Mumme, Dave O'Brien and Dane Marley.
Best Centaurs: Brent Guilfoyle, Ben Hingston and Nathan Macintyre.
Centaurs Goals: Jacob Ramshaw.
