The second week matches of the Salpholda Hockey League 'A' served drama, dominance, and a flood of goals as men and women's teams battled for early supremacy at the Theodosia Okoh Hockey Pitch.

The action began on Friday with a tightly contested men's encounter between Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and Legon Knights.

Coming off a Week 1 defeat to Army, GRA were eager to secure their first win of the season. After three goalless quarters, the breakthrough finally arrived in the 56th minute when Prince Klutse calmly converted a penalty corner to seal a crucial 1-0 victory and reignite GRA's title ambitions.

'Hockey Is The Reason' continued their fine form with a 2-1 victory over Arkmen, with all goals coming from open play.
