KNYSNA | BITOU NEWS AND GALLERY - Last weekend's action in the Eden Senior Hockey League once more saw positive outcomes for the men's and ladies sides from Plett Hockey Club as well as Old Oaks Knysna Hockey Club, as the latter's men's side returned to winning ways.

Ahead of the weekend's fixtures Old Oaks' men's team were looking to bounce back from a tough 4-2 loss to York High, the side's first loss since August 2019.

This wouldn't come easy as they would have to take on a skilled, young and vibrant team from Outeniqua High School under the lights on the astroturf at York.

Plett meanwhile faced off against Wanderers on the Knysna High School astroturf, hoping to continue their good form from a win against George the week before.

The ladies set off at 14:00 in Knysna, and it turned out to be a historic game for Plett who secured their first-ever win in the league only a week after their first draw (against George).

Goals from Miralde Groenewald, Nicole Painter and Robyn Viljoen (two) secured a 4-1 win for Plett over Wanderers, whose goal came courtesy of Marlett Watson.
