HCM ready to lock horns with NSW Pride in Sydney

Published Fri 20 Oct 2023

NSW Pride and HC Melbourne will lock horns in the highly anticipated Sunday fixture at the Sydney Olympic Park Hockey Centre.

Last year’s champions in the Men’s and Women’s, both NSW Pride teams started their title defences in ominous fashion, defeating Brisbane Blaze away from home last weekend.

Chelsea Holmes and Grace Jeffrey will make their NSW Pride debuts in place of Hockeyroos duo Jocelyn Bartram and Grace Stewart, while Kookaburra Lachlan Sharp has been included in the Pride Men’s team.

HC Melbourne’s teams have both made two changes, the women’s team looking to continue their perfect start to the season.

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.
