THE Lae City Hockey Association competition leaders Poroman were upset 2-1 by Rapatona 2-1 over the weekend.
In the other men’s matches, Sandpipers thrashed Iruba 8-0 while Brothers held off Sunam 2-0, and Kasens edged 3-Mile 2-1.
In the women’s games Sandpipers cruised past 3-Mile 4-0, Poromeri beat Rapatona 1-0, Iruba beat Sisters 4-3 and Wanderers forfeited City Reds.
Sisters took control 13 minutes into the game scoring their first goal and the game seesawed up to the 27th minute when Iruba’s Tatianna Bon rattled off the first goal in her hat-trick.
The women’s leaders continued the scoring spree after surge into Sisters territory laid the foundation for Bon to belt in her second goal.
Bon’s goal served to snap Sisters back into the contest as they hit back to equalise the scores at 2-2.
Iruba went ahead 3-2 through an Alice Fred goal but Sisters kept pace with their opponents leveling the scores 3-3.
The intensity of the game took a toll on both sides as play started to break down in the second half with miscued shots and sloppy passes.
Bon used the situation to steal the win for her side with her third goal of the day.
