-A Celebration of Outdoor Hockey in Guyana
Kaieteur Sports- The Bounty/Antonio’s Grill One Day Hockey tournament is the flagship event for outdoor hockey in Guyana, marking the start of the new season. This exciting season opener is scheduled for tomorrow, Sunday, January 26 at the Providence National Stadium, featuring a day filled with competitive matches and community festivities.
Guyana Hockey Board (GHB) President Philip Fernandes noted, “Bounty Farm LTD and Antonio’s Grill have been dedicated sponsors for this tournament for several years, and the board is very grateful for their continued interest in supporting the sport.”
The One Day event will highlight both male and female teams from the prominent hockey clubs in Guyana. The competition will use a seven-a-side format, a shortened version of the game, which promises to deliver fast-paced and thrilling action. Two games will be played simultaneously on opposite fields, enhancing to the excitement of players and spectators. The tournament will kick off at 9 am and continue into the evening, concluding in the grand finale for both male and female teams.
In addition to the club teams, the Guyana Hockey Board (GHB) recently held a three-day trial for U21 Boys and Girls. From these trials, twenty-seven boys and twenty-three girls were selected to continue training until the final teams are chosen.
According to GHB Head, the U21 boys will compete as two teams in the season opener to sharpen their skills, compete against former and current senior national players, and help selectors narrow down the roster.
The U21 boys are scheduled to compete in the Qualifiers for the Junior Pan American Challenge, taking place from March 9-16, 2025, in Barbados. Meanwhile, the U21 girls will prepare for the Qualifiers for the CAC Games, scheduled for May 4-11, 2025, in Mexico.
The day promises to be a vibrant celebration for the hockey community, with family, friends, and spectators gathering to enjoy scintillating matches. As is customary every year, the GHB will also host its first fundraiser of the year, featuring a BBQ sale at the event.
