GT&T Indoor Hockey Championships…Old Fort punish Saints 12-2
The Old Fort men first division team exacted the heaviest punishment of the night in their 12 – 2 beating of Saints as the GT&T National Indoor Championships continued Saturday evening at the National Gymnasium at Mandela Avenue. GCC however managed to secure the top spot at the end of the pool to face fourth place Pumas in the first semifinal. The Hikers round out the men’s first division semi-finals spots by facing Old Fort in the second semifinal.
Panthers newcomer Atteya Ally tries to find a way around a packed Old Fort defence.
There was no surprise in the ladies division as predictably the Tigers and Panthers achieved victories over the under-21s (2-1) and Old Fort (5-2) respectively. The Tigers are the unbeaten pool leaders and will face Old Fort in the first ladies semifinal while second and third place Panthers and Hikers meet in the second.
In a closely contested men’s second division competition, Phoenix edged out GCC and Old Fort for the lead on goal difference to face fourth placed Hikers in the first semi-final. Second and third place Old Fort and GCC will battle in the other semi.
After forty six matches of play, GCC’s Orland Semple leads the goal scorers of the men’s first division competition with 11 goals to his name. GCC’s Kevin Spencer and Jaguars Andrew Stewart are close in pursuit with 10 each while Pumas Aroydy Brandford has 9. All three players have been putting in sterling performances with the youthful Branford and Stewart worthy of MVP consideration for their leadership contributions to their team. Hikers Jamarj Assanah and Old Fort’s Aderemi Simon are poised to challenge for this accolade as they spearheaded their teams into the men’s first division semi-finals.
Three GCC Tigers share the top goal scorers table with Panthers Ulrica Sutherland, each with 5 goals, going into the final day of play. Apart from these four outstanding players, Panthers Aliyah Gordon has been one of the most exciting players to watch with her unmatched pace and dribbling skills.
Old Fort’s Jason Clarke and Phoenix Omar Hopkinson are well ahead of the rest of the field in the men’s second division competition with 7 goals each to their credit.
