The Guyana Hockey Board’s (GHB) Farfan & Mendes and Woodpecker Products men and women’s first-division leagues will bully off from 4pm this afternoon at the Providence National Stadium, the GHB says.
Originally scheduled for August, the leagues had to be repeatedly postponed due to inclement weather which rendered the grass fields of the traditional clubs unplayable. However, thanks to the intervention of the Minister of Sport, Charles Ramson Jr., and with unwavering support from Director of Sport, Steve Ninvalle, the GHB has received the green light to utilise the Guyana National Stadium, widely regarded as one of the top grass fields in the Caribbean, to host the league matches.
“To add to the grandeur, the opening ceremony and the final two evening games will be conducted under floodlights, an exciting spectacle that underscores the significance of this event,’ a release from the GHB stated.
