GT&T Indoor Hockey Championships Hikers’ teams sweep opposition on opening night

Oct 23, 2013 Sports

It was a clean sweep for the Hikers hockey club as all of their teams managed wins on the first night of action in the GT&T National Indoor Championships which opened on Monday evening, at the National Gymnasium.
In the feature match of the night which was a clash of men’s first division giants, the Hikers men managed to squeeze past defending champions GCC 3-2.
Captain Robert France opened the Hikers account with a brilliant steal just two minutes into the match to nail his shot in the GCC net and then repeated the feat ten minutes later to give the Hikers a 2-0 lead. GCC managed to regain their footing with a goal just before the half when Kevin Spencer dragged goalkeeper Azad DeAbreu to his right, before sliding the ball between his legs for the goal.
Randy Hope extended the Hikers lead with a blinding shot four minutes into the second half and although Orland Semple manage one more for GCC, the Hikers held on for the win.
The Hikers Divas managed to upstage the young GCC Spartans in their ladies division clash with former nationals Amanda Garnett and Avonda James netting one each in their 2-1 victory.
The Spartans secured a penalty stroke in the opening minutes of the game which was converted by Captain and national striker Gabriella Xavier, but failed to get past goalkeeper Jonelle Webster for the remainder of the match.
Hikers Revelation scored their largest victory ever in their short existence by destroying the Old Fort Heats 9-0 in the other ladies fixture of the evening.
The Heats are competing in their first competition and found it difficult against Revelation as leading Revelation striker Latacia Chung scored a hat-trick along with teammate Tekesha Deleon. Charlyn Elliot managed to score a double, while Nicole Eastman rounded out the score sheet for Revelation with a single.
The men’s second division saw Old Fort B crush Saints 5-1 with Shaquille Thomas and Timothy Baker leading the charge with doubles, while teammate Richard Thomas added one more for the victors.
Saints lone goal was scored by Parmanand Dindial.
The Hikers Recruits routed GCC 8-3 in the other second division fixture with Aroydy Branford scoring a hat-trick en route to victory. Travon Younge, Leon Bacchus, Jamarj Assanah, Reginald Harper and Michael Harding scored one each to complete the Hikers list. Eric Hing, Kareem McKenzie and Steven Xavier were the goal scorers for GCC.
In the lone veterans’ fixture of the evening, the Hikers defeated Old Fort 5-3 with Devin Munroe leading the charge for the Hikers with a hat-trick. Sheldon Corlette and Brian Asregado scored the other two for the victors.
Old Fort’s goals came through the efforts of Dwayne Allen, Ian Nicholson and Dexter Wyles.
Matches continue every evening at the National gymnasium until Sunday when the finals for all four divisions will be contested from 16:00 hours.
