National Junior Men’s Hockey Team continues winning streak in Trinidad

Aug 06, 2015 Sports

The national junior men’s hockey team continued their good showing at the Player Tournament in Trinidad & Tobago. Fresh off their late comeback against Trinidad’s National Under-21 team on Monday evening, Guyana took on an Under-21 Training Squad selection on Tuesday.
Choosing to rest two of their senior national players, Aroydy Banford and Andrew Stewart, meant that Guyana’s young brigade would have to step up. The youngsters struggled to maintain possession in midfield and wasted several goal scoring opportunities in the first quarter which ended scoreless. In the second quarter Guyana’s goalkeeper Medroy Scotland made a vital reflex save to prevent his side from conceding the first goal for the fourth time in five games.
That close call seemed to trigger a sense of urgency in the Guyanese and they increased their work rate which forced the Trinidadians into several mistakes. In the final minute of the second quarter, some high pressure on the Trinidadian central defender by forward Keon McKenzie forced him into a wayward pass which was intercepted by Rosario Ramsammy and the counterattack was on. Ramsammy sprinted towards the goal and played a through pass to McKenzie, who’s initial shot was well saved only for rebound to be put in by Ramsammy.
Guyana started the second half with a stifling full court press and the tactic paid off just three minutes into the quarter when Keon McKenzie intercepted a pass from a Trinidadian free hit then laid off to Deheron Wilkinson before finishing the return pass. Despite several more goal scoring opportunities the score would remain 2-0 until full time.
Guyana were to face the tournament leaders Malvern Sports Club who defeated them 5-3 on the opening night, before completing the round robin phase of the tournament today against Queens Park.
