Federal upset Aotea Kiwi to make hockey final Jacob Page
Fourth-placed Federal timed it right to topple top qualifier Aotea Kiwi to reach the Top of the South men’s hockey final this weekend against Tasman. Federal won the semi-final in Blenheim 3-1 to earn their spot in the decider and record their first win against Aotea Kiwi this season. Their reward is a showdown with Tasman who proved too strong for a faltering Stoke side 6-1 in Nelson. Federal have also not beaten Tasman this season. Tasman coach Tim Kerr was delighted with the effort of his team to bounce back after a heavy 5-2 loss to Federal Titans the previous week, “The guys all went away and worked on their individual skills and it showed. “We got a couple of goals and the confidence grew through the team and we made the most of our chances.”
