Terrible weather provided a tough day out in the reserve A women's hockey competition.
Maungakaramea battled to a 2-1 win over Springfield in the pouring rain on Friday night.
Both teams were missing players for the match due to school holidays but Maungakaramea were able to stick to their game plan to get the win.
Coach Janine Groves said her team maintained their game plan despite changes to their personnel.
"We still played a good short passing game even with players out of normal positions," she said.
