St. Joseph’s High School auditorium will play host to the second round of matches in the Oceaneering Under-14 Indoor Hockey league organised by the Guyana Hockey Board on Friday starting at 16:00 hours.
Last Friday’s commencement of the tournament saw several highly entertaining games.
In the girl’s division, there were some very familiar faces back in action with Kaiyra Scott scoring all six goals to guarantee her team SHC Sensations a 6-2 victory over Cummings Lodge Samurai. Scott has been playing in this tournament since the age of seven when it first started in 2017.
Newcomers, Cummings Lodge Samurai, defeated Hikers Junior Jets with an exciting goal early in second half from Letifa Fields.
GCC Challengers, Kadence Belony and Richard Ishmael Top Shelf Titans, Amya Norville scored a goal apiece to draw their game 1-1.
Saints with their usual strong performance in junior tournaments saw their boys’ team SHC Minions defeat GCC Pitbulls 4-0 with goals from twins Jarel and Jaron Isadore and a double from Ezekiel Moses. GCC Outlaws dominated in their first match against North Ruimveldt Multilateral with a 9-0 victory lead by a hat trick from Kyle Couchman.
Eight teams are competing in the hockey development tournament which has resumed after a three-year absence due to the recent Covid-19 pandemic.
Several players who presented Guyana at last month’s Junior Pan American Championships in Barbados started their career at the Under-14 tournament.
