Following their recent announcement of the women’s national squad, the Guyana Hockey Board has short-listed its top male players to commence training for the upcoming Caribbean Hockey Cup scheduled for June 22 – 29 in Kingston, Jamaica.
Contrary to the inexperienced women, Guyana sent a men’s team comprising of seasoned players mixed with new-comers to the inaugural Caribbean Cup held in Trinidad in 2007. While the men lost to eventual finalist Trinidad and Barbados, they defeated Jamaica to take the Bronze medal. This success followed on the heels of their previous outing at the Alba Games in Venezuela earlier in the year where Guyana copped the silver medal, losing only to eventual winners Cuba in the tournament.
National Coach of that successful team, Timothy McIntosh, is unfortunately no longer available to perform the task due to personal commitments, but the team will commence training under the guidance of Damon Woodroffe and Ivor Thompson.
Both Woodroffe and Thompson were part of the 2007 contingent and are likely to steer the team along the path laid out by McIntosh.
A meeting will be held with the squad tomorrow from 19:00 hrs, at the GCC ground, Bourda.
The players identified are: Timothy McIntosh, Azad DeAbreu, Robert Fernandes, Jerazeno Bell, Alex Gouveia, Devin Munroe, Marvin Dannett, Shane Samuels, Rene Edwards, Robert France, Randy Hope, Shaquille Assanah, Jason Hoyte, Dwight Sullivan, Askofu Simon, Chris Low-Koan, Aderemi Simon, Tony Cole, John Abrams, Jason De Santos, Stephen Fernandes, Orland Semple, Damon Woodroffe, Alan Fernandes, Gregory Garraway, Devin Hooper, Kevin Spencer, Dwayne Scott, Raphael DeGroot, Peter DeGroot, Stuart Gonsalves, Chris Xavier, Andrew Xavier, Philip Xavier, Shaka Gill, Leonard George, Michael Xavier, Andy Sampson, Jermaine Murray and Deon Carew.
LISTEN HOW JAGDEO WILL MAKE ALL GUYANESE RICH!!!
