Smalta U-14 Indoor Hockey Development League…
Day five of the Smalta Under-14 indoor hockey development League continued with action at the Marian Academy facility which saw 10 matches with the highlight being the 11-0 destruction by GCC Challengers on Hikers in the girls category on Friday.
Both teams had shown tremendous fight in the tournament to date but last Friday it was Aboside Cadogan that separated Challengers from Hikers with a total of nine goals out of her team’s 11. In the 20-minute affair, the half time mark seemed a long way for Hikers as they were lost on a familiar turf with six goals already scored on them by 10 minutes of play, five of which came from the stick of Cadogan and Riley Nurse scoring the other goal.
In the second half, Cadogan picked up where she left off with four more goals as well as one from Tamar Bhagwandin to seal off the devastating afternoon of hockey for Hikers.
Challengers had earlier in the day faced St. Joseph High School (SJH) where they were tested but came out victorious 4-2 in the contest. Cadogan and Bhagwandin scored doubles for the Challengers.
Also in the girls division, Marian Academy made use of the home advantage with a 5-1 victory over Saints Hockey Club (SHC) Sensations. Sarah Klautky showed her experience to score a hat trick and see her side to victory.
SHC Silencers fought valiantly against GCC Warriors to end the contest in a 1-1 stalemate. Meanwhile, in the Boys category the SJH boys proved to be in better standing than their female counterparts as they hammered Wardogs 8-0. Jaheim Jardine lead from the front with three goals of his own while gathering support from Daniel Baldeo and Jonathon Williams scored doubles and a lone goal from Brandon Abrams.
Old Fort secured a rare win against GCC Thunderbolts 4-2 while SHC Samurai defeated Hatchets 5-1 and Garnett Street played to a 3-3 draw against SJH.
In the final contest of the day, SHC Scalpels showed why they are the best team in the boys’ class with a 7-3 win over SHC Scorchers.
Currently in the points standings, Scalpels are on the top of the table followed by SJH in second and Garnett Street in third for the boys division.
In the girls’ division SHC Silencers are the table toppers as Marian Academy trail in second and GCC Warriors in third.
The action continues at St. Stanislaus College on Friday.
