Second-placed Shepparton Youth Club added to its buffer on the weekend, producing an impressive 3-1 win against third-placed Echuca-Moama.
Going into the Goulburn Valley Hockey Association A-grade men’s clash as favourites, the home side did enough to get the win.
Daniel Trevaskis and Seth Watson scored alongside Matthew Irwin on the day, with Irwin named best-on-ground for the winning team.
In the weekend’s other A-grade men’s clash, the table-topping Strikers downed Mooroopna, 11-0.
