Big games for HC Melbourne as they head to Perth

Round 4 sees HCM on the road again, travelling to take on Perth Thundersticks in the West. Two more big match ups are ahead of us with the women's in a top of the table showdown.

HC Melbourne Women have made two changes and look to remain undefeated. HC Melbourne Men have been impacted by the Burras’ participation in the Sultan of Johor Cup with four changes to their team to take on the Thundersticks. However, they have more than capable additions in the shape of Nathan Copey, Jayshaan Randhawa, Eden Davis and Nicholas Fitzgerald.

Every match of the JDH Hockey One League 2023 Season is LIVE and free on 7plus.

Memberships and tickets for all matches are available now through Intix.
