Newcastle Tigers Hockey Club

Yellow gave the men lane its biggest result by goals, putting away Souths 3-4.

NDWHA 2nd Grade were right in another tight finish too, with South holding that one 2-1.

NDWHA 2nd Grade are carrying the strongest dominance read in the club's women segment, which is a better signal than the ladder alone gives you.

The momentum angle sits with 3rd Grade, who are close enough to Port Stephens to make the next lift in the 3rd Grade matter.

Under 12-1 are feeling a bit of squeeze after South got hold of them 2-1.

5th Grade are the Elo watch inside the club's men spread, holding the strongest rating base in that part of the sheet.

One matchup that swung back the other way was NDWHA 3rd Grade versus Regals, after a very different earlier meeting.

NDWHA U12 Girls are another side still looking for a response, with the table line needing a steadier run.
