First Igloo Hockey Festival commences at GCC this weekend

Jun 18, 2016 Sports

GCC Hockey Team, in its effort to promote youth development in Field Hockey in Guyana, is hosting the ‘Igloo Hockey Festival’ this weekend, today and tomorrow, June 18th and 19th at the Georgetown Cricket Club, Bourda. The tournament will include competition for all ages including Under 8 and Under 10 (Mixed Categories), Under 14, Under 17 and Under 21 (Boys & Girls) and an Open Men and Women Category.

The tournament will be the first of its kind being played on an artificial hockey surface. Since there is no full-scale artificial hockey pitch in Guyana, the tournament features the exciting 5 a side format being played on the miniature sized field.
This tournament is the club’s first for the year and provides one of the few opportunities for all ages to play competitively in the sport. The GCC Hockey Team hopes to make this an annual event with participation from both school and club teams in the future.
Several clubs have submitted teams from their development programmes right through to senior sides. Apart from the senior competition with teams from hosts GCC, Hikers, Old Fort and Saints, the under-14 division featuring teams from five clubs in both the boys and girls divisions promises to be one of great interest. The under-21 boys competition will feature most of the players who recently participated in the Junior Pan American cup in Toronto and who should be in top form.
Matches begin at 10:00AM on both days and run until 8PM in the evening.
