T&T defeat Guyana in first of three-match hockey series

Jun 18, 2018 Sports

The Guyana Men’s Hockey team started off their three match friendly series against Trinidad & Tobago with a 2-0 defeat.
After getting into Trinidad four and a half hours behind schedule due to their flight cancelation and several additional delays, the Guyanese were forced to cancel their planned practice session and go straight into the first match. The team started tentatively and conceded several turnovers in the midfield which led to penetrating Trinidadian counter attacks.
On one such counter attack, outstanding Trinidadian midfielder Shaquille Daniel sent a powerful reverse hit into the scoring area which was deflected in by Akim Toussaint in the 8th minute. Immediately after the restart Trinidad countered off of another unforced error by the Guyanese midfield and were awarded a penalty corner. Guyana’s goalkeeper saved the initial drag flick but Trinidad’s Michael O’Connor converted the rebound.
By the start of the second quarter the Guyanese started to grow in confidence and created several goal scoring opportunities of their own but were never able to get past the Trinidad goalkeeper.
The two countries will play two more matches on Saturday and Sunday as part of their preparations for the CAC Games next month in Colombia. Trinidad is the top ranked team in the tournament and will oppose Cuba, Barbados and Colombia in pool A, while Guyana are in pool B with Mexico, Dominica Republic and Jamaica.
