BRISBANE BLAZE v CANBERRA CHILL Friday, 7.30pm AEDT (Males) 9.00pm AEDT (Girls)Queensland State Hockey Centre, Brisbane
Our defending champs are at house for the primary time this season, as they get set to host a cracker of a match. The Blaze males didn’t get off to a profitable begin final weekend, in entrance of a sold-out Newcastle crowd, once they went down 2-3 to the Delight and so they’ll be seeking to get better their season shortly, as they sit in sixth on the ladder after a bye and a loss first up. However they’re in for a barn-storming affair in Queensland and can want their house crowd behind them to halt Canberra’s unbeaten begin to the 2024 season. The Chill are heading into the match unchanged, and why wouldn’t they as they sit three factors clear on the high. Control final week’s star debutant Dylan Brick, who scored a hat-trick on debut, and their Kookaburras captain Andrew Constitution in aim. The Blaze have made one change with Kookaburra Jacob Anderson out and Scott Boyde in, they’ll be seeking to depend on a positive efficiency from their captain Jayden Atkinson and Diarmid Chappell once more this week.
It’s a juicy double-header when the ladies’s match follows, showcasing a match-up between the 2nd and third ranked sides after two rounds and the primary conflict between the 2 sides since final yr’s grand last when the Blaze gained 4-1. The Chill recovered from a brutal first-round loss to beat Adelaide 4-2 final weekend and so they’ve opted for no adjustments for this big conflict once they come up towards the Blaze who’re unbeaten after one recreation. But, the Blaze has already suffered a tough double blow with information that Hannah Callum-Saunders and Madison Fitzpatrick are out this week. Hannah went down in final week’s match with a knee harm and the Blaze will you’ll want to miss aim scorer Madison, whose brace helped win them the match in final week’s outing towards the Delight.
