Action goals from Kaspersky Southern Gauteng's Shaun Davenhill midway through the first half and another from an untidy penalty corner finished off on the stroke of half-time by homeboy Taine Paton of KZN Coastal Raiders gave Brothers Sport Braves a 2-0 win over iTrainer Warriors in the final game of the EagleTurf All Star Men's Hockey Series at Riverside Sports Club in Durban North Wednesday night.

The result clinches a 3-1 series victory for the Braves and gives national men's coach Gregg Clark much to think about as he whittles down South Africa's top 30 players into an 18-man team that will go into the Olympic Games qualifiers and Champions Challenge tournament later this year.
