Grade: Intercity Premier Mens
Teams: University Storage King vs Suburbs Piako HC
Result: Loss 4 – 2
Comments: Suburbs dominated the first half with brilliant passing and running. Going in to half time the score was 2 – 0 to Suburbs. The second half University started coming back at Suburbs with an extra player up the middle. A couple of lucky Penatly Corners saw Varsity even up the score and eventually University managed to put another 2 away for a hard fought game.

A well fought match showing the depth in Suburbs Mens hockey at the moment.
