The action opened with two thrilling Men’s Second Division encounters. Saints came out strong, taking a 2–0 lead at halftime against Hikers Cadets thanks to early field goals from Jonathan Liverpool (2nd minute) and Baraka Garnett (14th). They continued their dominance in the second half with Troy Hodge (17th) and Ezekiel Moses (21st) adding to the tally before Garnett sealed the 5–0 win with a penalty corner conversion—his second goal of the match.

The second men’s clash between Old Fort and GCC Outlaws proved an evenly matched contest from the first whistle. GCC drew first blood through Aldo Meleridez in the 5th minute via a powerful penalty corner, but Old Fort quickly responded as Donnel Alleyne equalized two minutes later. GCC regained the lead in the 18th through Grant Fernandes, but Yannick Norton turned the game around with a brilliant brace in the 20th and 28th minutes to seal a hard-fought 3–2 victory for Old Fort.

Over in the Women’s Open Division, GBTI GCC cruised to a commanding win over the National Over-40s side, powered by a sensational performance from Abosaide Cadogan. Cadogan opened the scoring just four minutes in, before Maria Munroe leveled the match in the 18th minute. Cadogan then unleashed a flurry of goals, scoring four times between the 27th and 30th minutes to put GCC firmly in control. Shebeki Baptiste pulled one back for the Over-40s in the 38th minute, but Rebecca Ferreira rounded off the 7–2 rout with a late brace.

The night concluded with Old Fort Inferno asserting dominance in the final Women’s fixture, defeating Hikers 4–2. Keitanna Percival opened the scoring in the 6th minute, while Marisha Fernandes equalized for Hikers in the 30th after a resilient defensive battle. Inferno then surged ahead with goals from Minsodia Culpepper (32nd) and captain Carolyn Deane, who netted twice in the 37th and 40th minutes to seal the win.

Fans can look forward to more thrilling action as the championship continued yesterday through Sunday, November 9, with all matches taking place at the National Gymnasium.
