GCC’s vaunted girls team, showed their strength in depth by disposing of Old Fort 9-0 and Hikers 3-1 despite the absence of a number of their national players. It was the lethal combination of Ashley DeGroot’s clinical finishing and Aliyah Gordon’s blistering pace that gave the Bourda girls a flying start in their title defence. Hikers’ Latacia Chung also made her presence felt on opening night scoring twice in her club’s 3-0 defeat of Old Fort.
On the boy’s side, a much improved GCC put away Saints with relative ease 3-0 before battling to a 2-2 draw with a talented Old Fort side led by the magical stick work of Omar Hopkinson. Defending boys champions Hikers, also signaled their intentions of retaining their title with efficient 5-1 and 7-1 victories over Old Fort and Saints respectively. The business end of this category will take place this afternoon starting at 2:00pm.
