Last night, the Guyana Hockey Board (GHB) launched its Farfan & Mendes men and Woodpecker Products Limited, women’s first division field hockey leagues at the Providence National Stadium.
It was no ordinary launch as it is the first time that hockey was being played under floodlights and at the venue used more for cricket and football events.
Gracing the occasion was Minister of Culture, Youth & Sport, Charles Ramson Jr., who issued a challenge to the hockey fraternity that challenge being the expansion and decentralization of the sport.
Whilst delivering the keynote address, the minister declared, “It’s a great pleasure to be here to share in the launch of the GHB’s first-division leagues.”
