COLOMBIANS survived a second half onslaught from Clubhouse Casuals to claim a 4-2 win that sees them continue to set the pace at the top of Men’s hockey Division One.

A hat-trick from TJ Ozanne was the catalyst for Colombians but it was a victory that was less straightforward than the scoreline might suggest.

Casuals have picked up the habit of starting strongly and then flagging in the closing stages of games, but last weekend it was a complete reversal.

Colombians took a stranglehold of the early stages with the movement of attacking trio Ozanne, Chris Gill and Tim Creasey causing problems for the Casuals defence.
