The Farfan & Mendes men’s and the Woodpecker Products women’s leagues which are being organised by the Guyana Hockey Board (GHB) will see its final matches being played this weekend and the respective champions being crowned at the Saints Stanislaus ground on Carifesta Avenue.
On Saturday, four matches are scheduled with the penultimate game being between GBTI GCC and Bingo Spartans. After that match, the women’s champions, GBTI, will receive their championship trophy along with other accolades.
The feature match will be an intense affair when Bounty GCC and Pepsi Hikers meet in the Farfan & Mendes men’s league. Hikers are above GCC by two points and a win by GCC against the favourites will make Sunday’s matches interesting.
On Sunday, Hikers play Saints Hockey Club (SHC) in the feature game, while GCC Vintage will play Supernova in the opener before Old Fort crosses sticks with Bounty GCC.
This tournament will serve as a good warm up for the National men’s and women’s players who are scheduled to compete in a three-nation tournament in Canada later in the month.
