Nathan Czinner and Koby Johnson both bagged doubles to help Souths to a two-goal victory over Gosford in Hunter Coast Premier League Hockey on Sunday.

The Newcastle side were 6-4 winners at the Wyong fields, a victory that followed their loss to Norths on Friday night.

Norths beat University 5-0 in the only other fixture played on Sunday.

University coach Ben Brown said Norths "controlled the contest" but he was encouraged by his side's performance.

"As a group that's building, we created some little chances and there's some good signs there for us, but we've still got a long way to go," he said.

"Depth is a big issue, we've got four of our probably top-five players unavailable at the moment."

In the women's premier league, Bianca Cheetham's brace helped Tigers defeat Oxfords 3-2 in a close-fought top-of-the-table clash.

Kirsten Drysdale set up all three Tigers goals, the other scored by Katie Hamment.

Souths beat Gosford 3-0, Regals defeated University 3-0 and Central outclassed Norah Head 4-1 on the Central Coast.

In the under-15 girls state championships at Parkes, Newcastle's second side finished runners-up in division three, falling 4-0 to Coffs Coast in the final.
