GCC complete clean sweep!

National Junior Indoor Hockey…

At the conclusion of the largest National Junior Indoor Hockey Tournament at the National Gymnasium, Mandela Avenue, the GCC title was worn proud by each division of the competition with the club winning all categories eligible.

In the Males U-21, GCC outplayed the Aroydy Brandford led attack of Hikers to stroll off with the top spoils in the division. In the end the score line read 3:5 in favour of the regent street based team. As predicted and displayed throughout the tournament, Brandford who single handedly carried the Hikers team into the finals scored all three of the teams goals in the 11th, 19th and 21st minute of play, however, the pressure of the finals was taking a toll on the youngster as much support was lacking from his team eventually leading to him receiving a green card in the 17th minute.
Team work was the deciding factor for the GCC team and Captain Mark Sargent relayed the same sentiments, noting that it was a team effort that won it for them. Sargent scored twice while three other members contributed a goal each.
For the females, the U-21 was played in a round robin style with GCC Spartans emerging victorious over Old Fort in the final contest in that division. It was two goals off the stick of Dacia Woodroffe in the second minute and Marzana Fiedtkou in the 10th minute that secured the victory for the Spartans. Mona Glenn was looking to put Old Fort in the driver’s seat scoring in the 19th minute but it was no stopping the Spartans.
GCC also completed victories in the Male and Female U-16s with GCC defeating Hikers in the males and GCC overcoming Saints Skills in the Females.
In other results, Christ Church Secondary was crowned champions in the schools division with a victory over North Georgetown Secondary and Mae’s Schools coming in third.
The U-13 and U-10 were played as mixed teams. In the U-13 division, Sainst Staples were victorious over Garnett Street in the finals while GCC Spartans finished third. In the U-10 class, Phoenix defeated GCC and Hikers were third.
