Coetzenburg was the stage for top-of-the-log Western Province Grand Challenge clashes for both Steinhoff Maties Hockey teams this weekend and the action did not disappoint.

Both teams played against strong title contenders WPCC.

The Maties Women's team dominated from start to finish to beat WPCC by 5-0. Quanita Bobbs hit the back of the goal box four times and Tarryn Glasby scored Maties' other goal. Maties remain top of the log with 22 points after eight games. WPCC is on 18 after seven games.

The Maties Men managed to snatch a draw from the jaws of defeat after trailing 3-1 with only a few minutes left on the clock. Ross Campbell scored his team's second goal to turn the tide and Keenan Horne scored the equaliser after great play by captain Dylan Swanepoel in the final seconds of the match. Daniel Bell scored Maties' first goal. It was a fierce battle and Maties' third draw of the season. WPCC is still top of the log with 16 points and Maties second with 12.

Vics also played in Stellenbosch on Sunday. The men won 5-3 against Pinelands, while the women lost 2-4.

Next on the calendar is Central against Maties and UCT against Vics on Sunday.
