Kalgoorlie

CBC notched a fourth consecutive victory in the Eastern Goldfields Hockey Association’s A1 women’s competition, beating Mines 3-0.

In the other women’s fixture, Norths and YMHC drew 2-2 – in a thrilling match that went down to the wire.

YMHC lead 2-1 with 10 seconds remaining, before a late equaliser robbed them of their first win of the season.

In the men’s league, Norths continue their dominant start to the A1 men’s season, with a 7-0 thrashing over YMHC in a top-versus-bottom clash.

Chris Souchon and Michael Scruth bagged two goals apiece in the victory.
