GT&T enhanced its association with the Guyana women’s hockey team by outfitting
the team with playing gear for the upcoming Central American & Caribbean (CAC) Games in Vera Cruz, Mexico.
The telecommunications giant has a long and healthy relationship with the sport of hockey in Guyana and just celebrated its 14th year of sponsoring the Indoor Hockey National Championships.
In recognition of the achievements of the women’s national hockey team, including their qualification and participation against World Class opposition in the prestigious PAHF Cup, GT&T has chosen to embrace its latest effort to medal in the CAC Games.
The company’s Public Relations Officer, Ms. Nadia DeAbreu was on hand to make the presentation of playing uniforms to representatives of the team. Ms. DeAbreu indicated that the company was happy to support the efforts of the team and wished them success in the Games.
Vice-Captain Ulrica Sutherland expressed great appreciation on behalf of the team indicating that companies like GT&T should be commended for affording young people the opportunity to set and achieve goals both in sport and in other beneficial endeavours.
The national ladies depart today for Mexico and will compete against the Dominican Republic in their first match of the games on Saturday at 12 noon Guyana time. As a result of their success over the past three years, Guyana enters the tournament ranked 4th out of 8 teams. Other teams in the competition include Trinidad, Cuba, Barbados, Bermuda, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic and hosts Mexico.
Defending champions Trinidad & Tobago ranked top in the competition with Mexico being ranked second. Guyana have never medalled in these games, but enter this year’s competition with a much better ranking than their last place ranking at the last staging of the games four years ago.
Meanwhile the full squad is: Alysa Xavier (GK), Ashley DeGroot, Ulrica Sutherland, Maria Munroe, Tiffany Solomon, Trisha Woodroffe, Aliyah Gordon, Marzana Fiedtkou, Leigh Sandison, Gabriella Xavier, Kerensa Fernandes, Chantelle Wales, Samantha Fernandes, Shebiki Baptiste, Tekiesha DeLeon and Princessa Wilkie.
