Thrilling matches seen in Lucozade Inter-Club hockey

Jul 01, 2016 Sports

Play in the Lucozade Inter-Club Hockey Tournament continued on Tuesday with some thrilling matches, at the National Gymnasium on Mandela Avenue. First off was the clash between Old Fort ‘A’ and Old Fort ‘B’ in what some spectators determined was a clash of sheer skill.
Two minutes into play Jael Gaskin of the ‘B’ team scored a stunning FG, but that just seemed to inspire the ‘A’ team. Jason De Santos of Old Fort ‘A’ scored a PC in the 7th minute of play and Dwight Sullivan (also of the A team) scored two FG’s in the 18th and 20th minutes respectively.
That brought the half time score to 3-1 in favor of the ‘A’ squad. However, the second half proved to be more exciting as both teams made many attempts to add to their final tally.
Old Fort ‘B’ Dehron Wilkinson scored a FG in the 22nd minute, but that was quickly answered by Askofu Simon (Old Fort ‘A’) with a FG of his own one minute later. Three minutes John Abrahams of the ‘B’ team made a successful PC, but it was then that Old Fort ‘A’ unleashed their relentless skill.
Dwight Sullivan (2 FG’s), Aderemi Simon (1 FG) and Jason Clarke (1 FG) all sealed their team’s victory bringing the ultimate score to 8-3. The second match happened between Bounty’s GCC and the GCC Pitbulls.
A fast-paced first half saw a goal apiece as Kevin Spencer of Bounty’s GCC scored a 14th minute PC and Mark Sergeant of the Pitbulls scored a 16th minute FG. The last half was much more productive though with Spencer starting the scoring again for the Bounty side with a 26th minute PC, but this time Meshach Sergeant (Mark’s brother) responded one minute later with a FG of his own.
Kareem Mc Kenzie and Michael Craig of the Bounty squad added two more FGs, before Keon Mc Kenzie of the Pitbulls edged in a FG for his team. At this point a win seemed likely for either side, but Steven Xavier of Bounty’s GCC stole that hope for the Pitbulls with a FG and a PC just three minutes before the buzzer sounded.
Meshach Sergeant tried valiantly to even the odds, but only managed to squeeze in one FG in the 39th minute. Bounty’s GCC beat the GCC Pitbulls 6-4. Action continues today, at the National Gymnasium at 17:00hrs.
