John Fernandes Insurance Services Ltd Second division Hockey League…
Western Union Hikers declared champions
The Western Union Hikers completed the John Fernandes Insurance Services Ltd Second Division Competition in fine style with a 3-0 defeat of the Airbenders to solidify their position as 2012 Champions in the competition.
The match began at a frantic pace, with the Airbenders pressing the Hikers in the early minutes and both sides creating chances, but failing to find the back of the net. The Airbenders deliberate and patient build-ups contrasted in style to the swift counter-attacking style of the Hikers as both teams seemed determined to come out on top. While the first half remaining goalless, the Hikers were quickest off the mark just 4 minutes into the second half.

A surprise run by crafty Jamarj Assanah created an opening for him to guide his shot past the near post of Airbenders substitute goalkeeper Jonelle Garnett. The Hikers pace began to take a toll on the Airbenders as their defence found itself exposed on several of the Hikers goal raids. Tournament joint top scorer, Aroydy Branford, did not disappoint his fans as he added a second goal for the Hikers in the 46th minute with a blistering shot.
While the Airbenders continued to fight, the Hikers defensive wall matched every effort and in the final minute of the game, Randy Hope outraced the Airbenders defence to add to his team’s tally giving the Western Union Hikers the 3-0 victory.
After the culmination of a superb second division tournament a presentation of the shield and medals were made to the Champions the Western Union Hikers.
