The Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) Ground, Bourda has become a fortress for the home team Bounty GCC who will feel confident against Old Fort who will have to bring their A game to come out on top today.

Bounty GCC have been one of the more dominating teams in this year’s men’s first division outdoor league, which is sponsored by Farfen & Mendes and organised by the Guyana Hockey Board.
To date, both teams have been in two matches and suffered mixed fortunes having already tasted victory and defeat.
Old Fort opened this season’s campaign against Pepsi Hikers fighting throughout the match; however their resilient spirit did not stop Hikers from advancing to a narrow 3-2 win.
Also, Hikers handed Bounty GCC their lone defeat right at today’s venue. On that occasion, just like the Old Fort/Hikers clash it went down to the wire but also resulted in a 2-1 victory for Hikers.
Both teams will feel confident with their respective victories in the league to date; Old Fort would have found glory when they came up against Saints, beating them soundly at their home ground on Carifesta Avenue while GCC dismantled the very same opponents 5-0.
In Bounty GCC’s win Kevin Spencer and Mark Sergeant were the prime destroyers as they each scored doubles, while Philip Fernandes chipped in with a goal of his own while Old Fort’s victory came thanks to a Hat trick from Aderemi Simon and one from Chris Low.
The contest is expected to be a battle of fitness and skills with GCC looking to the likes of Philip Fernandes, Kareem McKenzie, Kevin Spencer, Rahim Oliver, and Samuel Woodroffe to keep them in contention throughout the one hour affair.
Meanwhile Hikers’ Omar Hopkinson, Anthony Cole, Stephon Sprosta, Jael Gaskin, John Abrahams and Warren Williams will be tough to contain.
