Newcastle Northern Suburbs Hockey Club

HCPHL are carrying the strongest dominance read in the club's men segment, which is a better signal than the ladder alone gives you.

If you wanted the clearest result-by-goals read in the men group, it came from 4th Grade at 3-4 over Wests.

2nd Grade owned the tightest club result, finishing level with Souths at 2-2.

Under 12-2 are the side still trying to break a rough patch, now 3 straight losses deep.

There is another nearby race worth tracking too, where NDWHA Joeys are trying to keep Wests from closing the gap in NDWHA Joeys.

Under 14-2 are quietly giving away very little, with only 7 conceded so far and a defensive read the ladder does not fully capture.

Under 14-2 look stronger than the ladder alone suggests, with the power read 0 places healthier and the goal difference still working for them.

There was a real head-to-head shift for Under 14-2, where the margin against Wests moved sharply compared with Wed 26 Aug, 18:25 AEST.
