The Guyana Hockey Board has reduced its men’s national junior squad to 20 players as preparations intensify for the team’s participation in the Player’s Tournament, scheduled for Trinidad & Tobago from August 1st
to 8th, 2015. The final team will be selected at the beginning of July, to take part in the tournament which is expected to attract teams from Pakistan and Mexico as well as the Caribbean.
This cycle of the national junior programme started in August of last year with the staging of an under-19 development camp. 37 players were then selected to form the national squad which has been in training since October 2014. The programme made a successful start to its international duties on the team’s developmental tour of Trinidad in December of last year, where they trained on the artificial turf and won three of their four matches against club side Paragon and Trinidad’s national junior squad.
This tour is the second phase of the two year programme which is preparing the team that will represent Guyana at the Pan American Junior Championships scheduled for Toronto, Canada in May of next year. Apart from international tours, the squad competes in local tournaments as a unit and individual players will be sent overseas to compete for foreign clubs to gain exposure and experience.
The 20 man squad includes four new comers who were not part of last year’s touring team in, Eleomar Silva, Meshach Sargeant, Troy Hodge and Isaiah Hope. The team will also be without the services of outstanding play maker Jamarj Assanah who has aged out of the programme and the injured Omar Hopkinson, who were both part of last year’s team.
20 Man Junior National Squad
Mark Sargeant, Medroy Scotland, Kareem McKenzie, Keon McKenzie, Daniel Hooper, Shaquille Leung, Meshach Sargeant, Rosario Ramsammy, Eleomar Silva, Aroydy Branford, Andrew Stewart, Leon Bacchus, Stephon Sprosta, Deheron Wilkinson, Hilton Chester, Paramanand Dindial, Shemar Boston, Troy Hodge, Ato Greene and Isaiah Hope.
