Certainly in terms of the senior women's divisions.
Confederates Rebels have rolled through their opening nine games without a loss and are eight points clear on top of the division one standings, although the division two and three tables are slightly more congested.
CYMS RPT are undefeated in division two and are two points clear of Molong Black on top but even so, there's just eight points separating first and seventh.
CYMS AWE and CYMS Vics are in a share of the competition lead in division three, although the latter has played an extra game and suffered a loss the former hasn't.
In the men's top flight Ex-Services X-Men have worked their way to the top but they're just one point in front of CYMS JDM, while Confederates TBH are in a share for the division two lead with Molong 2.
CYMS Gurus are one point further back in the latter competition, with CYMS Gold one more point adrift.
CYMS Strikers and the Molong Penguins have won the competition lead in divisions one and two of the Open Primary leagues, respectively.
In the junior mixed competitions CYMS Bandits (under 14s), Confederates Ferrets (under 16s) and KWS Timberwolves (under 18s) are leading the charge, while the KWS Blazers are on top in the under-16 girls' league.
All the competitions continue at Orange Hockey Centre this weekend.

Formerly a sports specialist, I'm based at Orange and shift between wide-spread range of subjects here and, often, across the entire Central West region of NSW as well. I have almost a decade of experience in the media and marketing industries both here in Australia and internationally, along with journalism I have experience in content strategy, brand development, and digital and social media. Along the way, I've been fortunate to win a handful of media awards and be nominated for several others too.
