LGSHA 2024: Manypeaks women's notch strong victory over Spencer Park, Spencer Park men beat minor premiers

A Kathryn Slattery-inspired Manypeaks cruised past Spencer Park in the final round of the Lower Great Southern Hockey Association Retravision women’s A-grade season on Saturday. Slattery netted a hat-trick in her side’s sterling 4-0 victory and Lysbeth Cunningham chipped in with a goal. Despite being third heading into the round, Peaks were relegated to fourth after being docked premiership points by the LGSHA for playing an unregistered player and the outcome of that decision is still pending after an appeal from the club. Minor premiers North Albany notched a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Mt Barker in Mt Barker on Saturday afternoon, snapping a two-game losing streak. The Redbacks have been the best side all year but stumbled in the weeks leading up to finals losing back-to-back games before rekindling their winning form in round 15. Felicity Ericsson, Charlotte Powis and Chloe Wisewould each scored goals for the visitors while Clare King played a key hand for Mt Barker with a crucial brace. In the men’s Retravision A-grade, Spencer Park notched an impressive 5-3 victory over minor premiers Manypeaks on Saturday night. The two sides got an earl gaze at each other before the square off again this weekend in the qualifying final, but Park ensured they took momentum into the finals series. Fergus Sandilands, Charlie Hudson, Koby Hams, Jake Robinson and Darren Parkes all netted goals in Parks’ big victory. Peaks’ Jack Mills was reliable again with two goals and Mitch Bradbury scored one in the loss. Wooden spooners Mt Barker ended their season on a high, securing just their second win of the season after seeing off a challenge from North Albany. Mt Barker’s Astyn Temby and Louis van Senden scored match-defining goals in their victory while Daniel Fisher scored for the Redbacks.
