Teenager Abosaide Cadogan is on a stellar streak as she continues to steer her team to victory in the Guyana Hockey Board’s developmental leagues.
Abosaide Cadogan controlling the possession in her encounter
This time around, it was the Under-19 teams which put their skills to the test.
After a scintillating matchup, in which she netted six goals to lead her team to a 6-0 win over Woodpecker Hikers, Cadogan returned with a similar zest to shine in yet another match.
This time, in the Solo Girls Under-19 division, Cadogan’s team, the Bingo Spartans, completed an impressive team effort to thrash the GCC Her-ricanes. Starting the matchup on the attack from the first whistle, Alana Cheung was the first player to score a goal.
Abosaide Cadogan came later to the party with four goals of her own. And as if to add salt to the wound, the Bingo Spartans produced another rain of goals when Sarah Klantky completed her hat-trick in the 25th, 27th and 37th minutes, whilst Paige Fernandes, Makeda Harding and Madison Fernandes contributed on a piece to the enormous 11-0 score, causing the Spartans to convincingly win the encounter.
The other female match saw Saint Joseph coming up against Saint Stanislaus. Saint Joseph was the first team to get off the mark with a goal from Carolyn Deane early on in the 8th minute. However, Kizia Chinian fought hard to equalise for her Saints team in the next half.
Despite playing their hearts out, neither team was able to edge past the other, leaving the score locked at 1-1 at the end of their allotted time.
Over in the male category, Old Fort took on the Joseph Warriors in a scintillating back-and-forth game. The 4th minute saw the goal from Daniel Baldeo being recorded first for the Joseph Warriors. Joseph went up by another goal eight minutes later, and one minute after that, Nandalall Persaud got his cut of the pie. A goal from Old Fort came from Omar Hopkinson in the 20th, but Joseph Warriors were one step ahead, netting another soon after. Their fifth goal came from Brandon Abrahams.
Despite, Rafael Robertson finding the back of the net for Old Fort in the 38th minute, it was not enough to match Joseph’s prowess in their 5-2 win.
The other matchup saw North Ruimveldt Multilateral and Hikers being paired. Thanks to Shamere Garnette, North Ruimveldt were up by two by the second half, as the team continued to play a great hand at both offence and defence. Baraka Garnette and Tivesarid Garnette chipped in later on in the game to bring the score to 4-0, sealing the victory for North Ruimveldt.
