Two goals all weekend was enough for Harvestehuder. Six points, two clean sheets, and a team that started the season badly is suddenly out of the basement. That’s the charm of a double weekend when your defence holds. Harvestehuder 1-0 Munich: one corner, job done Saturday’s 1-0 win over Berliner HC got a repeat on…
All twelve points on offer in Hamburg stayed in Hamburg. That’s the short version of Bundesliga Sunday.

German hockey’s double weekend saves its best for last. On Sunday in Hamburg, Hamburger Polo Club play Mannheimer HC. First against second.

Round 2 of Hockey One ends in Adelaide on Sunday, and it’s the fixture neither side can really afford to lose. The Fire are at home for the first time this season. The Tigers have made the trip from Hobart knowing a good Sunday puts them right in the early-season mix, and a bad one…
Four rounds into the Spanish women’s season, the top of the Liga Iberdrola has a problem. The good kind. Club de Campo lead the league with 10 points. They dropped their first points of the season last weekend, drawing 0-0 with RC Polo at the Eduardo Dualde, and the teams behind them did not waste…
