Saints Hockey Club and Queen’s Park Cricket Club (QPCC) yesterday clinched the under – 16 and 13 titles, respectively in the Guyana Hockey Board (GHB), QPCC Outdoor challenge at the Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) ground.
Early in the day, the juniors from the Trinidad club and Saints in the under-13 category enjoyed a successful run during the round-robin stage and met each other in the final but it was the visitors who triumph, winning the finale 10-0 at the end of the final whistle.
The QPCC led 5-0 at the half. The win was orchestrated by Nicholas Siu Butt and Adam Wyatt who both netted hat-tricks to set up the win.
Meanwhile, the under-16 final was an all Guyana match-up between Saints and Old Fort with the former getting over the line courtesy of a strike past the upright from Naresh Mahadeo.
Action in the first semi-final saw Saints edging past GCC 1-0, a goal netted by Samuel Garnett while Old Fort booked their spot in the final by accounting for the visiting QPCC 2-1 on penalty shootouts.
The indoor component of the tournament continues today at the National Gymnasium.
