Rise Men once again reaffirmed their position as the team to beat, collecting their second win of the day and starting strong in search of that third consecutive title.

On a high from their comeback win earlier in the day, Hustle largely kept pace with Rise until the third quarter as their opponents hit a hot scoring streak and closed out well despite having their starting goalie sent off, playing a large period of the last quarter man-down.

Hustle Women avenged their defeat in last year’s final in another absolute cracker of a contest to close out the women’s action on Day 1!

Hustle raced into an early lead and kept themselves ahead for a long while, before Forge finally started to fire and their strong attacking options combined with Emilie Chandler in goal came back like a train to lead 14-13 with a minute to play - however, Hustle came back and Julie Wise produced one of the moments of the day to win it in the last second and give her side two wins out of two for the day!

Reigning champions Rise Men got their The Fly 2023 campaign off to the perfect start; with their new-look keeping the Rise legacy going, led by Drew Bickerton’s four goals.

While Rise maintained a healthy advantage throughout, Swift stayed in touch and weren’t too far behind, giving hope for their double header next week.

Another thriller of a match to kick off the 2023 men’s competition!

Forge looked to have things wrapped up, leading by 6 goals midway through the 3rd quarter; but Hustle produced a sensational late rally and with the scores tied, Dave Groves sinked a buzzer beater to complete the comeback and get the opening game win!
