The 2022 Far North Coast Hockey season has drawn to a close after a number of nail biting Grand Finals.
The Junior Grand Finals were shared between three clubs, with the newly formed Coraville club taking out the U/11's, Ballina taking out the U/13's and Northern Star hoisting the U/15 trophy.
The Senior Grand Finals were close fought affairs, again with three clubs taking titles amongst the eight deciders.
The A Grade Women's Grand Final went to Ballina after defeating Northern Star 3-1 and Star dominated the A Men's match with a 4-0 victory over East Lismore.
The Northern Star club had a strong day taking out the A Reserve Women 1-0 over Ballina in the match of the day. The game went into extra time and penalty shootout before Star took the title.
Star also took the B1 Women 2-0 over East Lismore White, the Reserve Men 2-1 over Ballina and the B Grade Men with a 3-1 victory over Kingscliff.
The remaining Senior Grand Finals were shared between East Lismore Women in B2 with a 2-1 victory over Summerlanders and Ballina took out the C Men's final with a 3-2 victory over Easts.
