Men’s B Grade
In Men’s B Grade, Hockey Ballarat and Hockey Central Vic went head-to-head. It was a high scoring match, but Hockey Ballarat were able to take home the Gold Medal with a 5-2 victory., while Hockey Central Vic took home the silver medal.

Women’s A Grade
After drawing when they met in the pool stages of the Event, Hockey Geelong and Hockey Albury Wodonga could only be separated by goal difference heading into the Gold Medal Match. It proved to be a close affair early, but Hockey Geelong were able to prevail 4-1 and take home the Gold Medal.
