Tacking Point Cougars are expected to struggle against a fresh faced Camden Haven hockey team this weekend

The side faced off against Wauchope Warriors and inter-club rivals, Lightning in the open men's division on August 8.

The Cougars were defeated by Lightning (1-7) during the round three clash. Port City Bull Sharks were thrashed by Camden Haven (0-7) and Wauchope Warriors hung on for a hard fought victory over Cougars (4-2).

Cougars Captain Haydn Alexander said the team would be bringing players up from the C Grade after injuries including a broken hand and bruised ribs.

"Camden Haven have got a really good young side and they are starting to shine. They are playing probably the highest level of hockey of any team," he said.

"We went down to them last time (0-2), which was pretty good to hold them. It was a good effort by our guys.

"Their hockey is great to watch, let along play against. Added to that we have got injuries and are a bit battered and bruised from the two games last week."
