The GBTI GCC women bounced back after losing to Saints the previous week, to thrash Bingo Spartans 5-3 on Sunday when play resumed in the Bounty Paper Towel Second Division Outdoor Hockey League at the Saint Stanislaus College (SSC) ground on Carifesta Avenue.
This was a welcomed win for the reigning champions who lost 2-1 to Saints the previous week in the league organised by the Guyana Hockey Board (GHB) but it wasn’t a straightforward triumph. At half time, the younger and quicker Bingo Spartans side were going neck and neck with their more senior opponents with the scores locked at 3-3, thanks to a brace from Paige Fernandes and one goal from Sarah Klautky.
For GBTI GCC, Princessa Wilkie banged in four of her team’s five goals before Vanessa Pires had scored the game’s opener
in the fifth minute.
In the other women’s second division match, top of the points table; Saints, notched their second win with a 2-0 victory over YMCA Old Fort (OF) Wild Cats. Clayza Bobb and Nia Williams notched one goal each for the winners.
On the men’s side, Bounty GCC got past YMCA OF Rusty 2-0 in game one with the goals coming off the sticks of Samuel Woodroffe and John Phang, while Saints Savages safely negotiated a 2-1 win against Saints Shockwave. Hilton Chester scored a brace for the Savages while his brother Hilmar scored the solitary goal for Shockwave.
In the Solo sponsored under-20 division, GCC Pitbulls needled Saints Storm via a second half field goal (FG) from Tariq Nelson. YMCA OF Ballerz got the better of Saints Samurai with a similar 1-0 victory in the other Solo boys’ match, Nandalall Persaud scored the winner.
The tournament continues this weekend at the same venue.
