With the Old Mutual Wanderers Night League Hockey series in full swing teams are battling it out to make the knockout stages which will commence next week.
In the men's competition, Wanderers went to the top of Pool A on Monday night after repelling a determined comeback by DTS to win their encounter 4-3.
Wanderers were all over DTS in the first half and took the lead after five minutes when they won a short corner and Johan van Rooyen beat DTS' keeper Jacques Nel with a shot high into the corner of the net.
Wanderers continued to attack but DTS defended well to keep them at bay just before the halftime break when Tiaan Grobler broke into DTS' box to smash the ball into the net from close range.
When Grobler got his second goal from a counter-attack in the third quarter it seemed that the match was all over with Wanderers leading 3-0, but DTS launched a stunning comeback.
Jason Bolton opened their account with a great shot from the edge of the box and when Christo van Rooyen was fouled in the box they won a penalty that Xander van Rooyen converted to narrow the deficit to 3-2.
There was still more to come and barely a minute later Ivan Mendes pounced to put a loose ball in the box away, to draw level at 3-3 and complete a dramatic turnaround.
DTS, however, could not maintain the momentum and Wanderers had the final say when Grobler completed his hattrick early in the final quarter to givethem a narrow 4-3 victory, which put them at the top of Pool A on 10 points from five matches.
