and tomorrow with the start of the 2015 edition of the John Fernandes Insurance Second Division Men’s League, as well as the inaugural Woodpecker Products Ladies League.
2013 champions Hikers will be without the services of their junior stars Aroydy Branford, Andrew Stewart and Jamarj Assanah, for the first time since they made their debuts for the club.
The trio has been debarred from competing in second division competitions after making the senior national side, which won a Bronze medal at the 2014 Indoor Pan American Cup in Uruguay.
Hikers will open the defence of their title against Old Fort today, while the preceding match will feature their main rivals, 2013 runners-up All Greys against GCC at 14:30 hrs.
All Greys will be led by former national players Ivor Thompson, Allan and Philip Fernandes, while GCC’s challenge will come from their wealth of junior national talents, Daniel Hooper, Shaquille Leung and the McKenzie brothers, Kareem and Keon.
Tomorrow’s action commences at 13:00hrs with Old Fort, led by junior nationals Deheron Wilkinson, Stephon Sprosta and Omar Hopkinson, taking on the Ato Greene, Joel Hunte and Kevin Edwards led Saints side.
That match will be followed by the opening encounter of the inaugural Woodpecker Products Ladies League between a Hikers side featuring senior nationals Maria Munroe and Tekeisha Deleon against a young Old Fort squad full of talent such as Bushani Kaladeen, Minsodia Culpepper and Owinter Henry.
The feature match of the day will be at 16:30 hrs between Men’s heavyweights GCC and Hikers.
The ladies competition will also feature the dominant GCC ladies as well as a national under 20 women’s squad, who will be included to build experience for the 2016 Pan American Junior Championships scheduled for April of next year in Trinidad.
This year’s competitions promise to be extremely competitive since a large number of the participants are part of the Board’s junior training programmes.
All matches will be played at the St. Stanislaus College ground, on Carifesta Avenue.
