Defending champions Pepsi Hikers remained on course to defend their Diamond Mineral Water Indoor Hockey title after downing hapless the Mixed Nuts unit 16 – 0 to cruise to their third consecutive win last evening at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall when the third evening of the 2017 festival ended last night.
The defending champions came out shooting from the first whistle and converted seven opportunities to end the first half 7 – 0 as Aroydy Bradford completed a first-half hat-trick while Shane Samuels, Quin Clark and Andrew Vieira also etched their names on the scorecard.
The second-half was even more daunting for Nuts as Bradford netted six additional goals to his tally to end with an astonishing nine goals while Devin Munroe sneaked in a second-half hat-trick to leave the youngsters licking their wounds.
