Victoria's men's and women's hockey outfits remain firmly in the hunt for medals of all colours at the Australian Country Championships in Shepparton.
The host state is finishing the tournament strongly in both divisions and could find itself in a gold medal playoff come Sunday at McEwen Reserve.
Yesterday the Victorian men claimed a 2-1 win against Western Australia to give themselves breathing space in fourth spot on the table.
The visitors opened the scoring in the third minute of the clash through Liam Sweeney, but Shepparton Strikers' Xavier McBain hit back in the 16th minute to level proceedings.
Zachary Coulton then dealt the killer blow for Victoria in the 51st minute to give his side - which includes Echuca-Moama products Jayden Gulson, James Thomson and coach Michael Gulson - a stellar win.
The men face winless South Australia at 11.45am today to decide their fate, with results needing to go their way to jump up to second.
The Victorian women are in an even better position, sitting second at the time of writing after a 5-1 triumph against South Australia yesterday.
An evening clash between the Australian Defence Force and Western Australia was yet to play out, but either way Victoria's destiny will be in its own hands.
Echuca-Moama's Jorgie Wright and her teammates conceded the first goal against SA before powering to the big win.
They face Western Australia today at 1.30pm, and a win by multiple goals should prove enough to steer them into second after the qualifying rounds.
News photographer Rodney Braithwaite was in attendance when Victoria took on New South Wales in the men's competition to capture some of the action.
