It was an unsuccessful trip to Werribee for both the men and women Casey Cannons.
The women went down 3-2, with Skye McDonald slotting both the goals.
It’s a surprise defeat for the women which comprehensively beat Werribee 4-0 earlier in the season, among a slew of strong performances against lower ranked teams.
The men, meanwhile, have had a difficult period, but challenged top-placed Werribee, falling short 2-1 with skipper Matthew Light the goal scorer.
Next up for the women is Knox, which they beat 3-0 last time, while the men have a winnable game against Eastern Christian Hockey Organisation.
