WITH a final match left to cap a successful Queensland tournament, Ipswich women's coach Hugh Hocking was entitled to be contented as he dodged the Toowoomba rain.
His well-drilled side had just qualified for Monday's third-fourth playoff against home team Toowoomba at the Queensland hockey championships.
Beating Gladstone 7-0 this afternoon secured Ipswich second spot in Pool B with two wins and a single 1-0 loss to Gold Coast.
The Ipswich women opened the tournament with a 4-2 success over Tweed on Saturday morning.
They battled through the chilly Saturday night conditions pushing unbeaten Gold Coast all the way.
