GCC Men, Vets dominate Night Four of Bounty Supermarket National Indoor Hockey Championships

Night Four of the Bounty Supermarket-sponsored National Indoor Hockey Championships, at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall (CASH) on Homestretch Avenue in Georgetown, has been dominated by experience on the courts.
The opening match-up witnessed the YMCA Old Fort Top Form going down to the GCC Pitbulls by a single goal. The Woodroffe men were on point for their team, as two goals off the stick of Samuel and one off the stick of Vladimir gave their team a 3-2 advantage. Simeon Moore marked his name by scoring two field goals for Old Fort Top Form.

The first female game of the evening saw the YMCA Old Fort Igniters narrowly defeating the Saints women by one goal. A penalty corner was awarded to Old Fort women, and captain Carolyn Dean, leading from the front, took the shot and successfully found the back of the net of the Saints women.

Face-off in the Vets Over-35 category was between Bounty GCC and YMCA Old Fort. The latter suffered another defeat at the hands of GCC, as their nets were riddled four times. Old Fort opened the scoring in the 3rd minute when former skillful national player Askofu Simon punctured the GCC net with a field goal.
This small victory did not last long, as the Kevin Spencer response was eventually a double, followed by a double from Devin Hooper. The other goal for Old Fort came from Jason De Santos. The game ended in favour of GCC 4-2.
The final match of the evening took place between GBTI GCC Spice and GBTI GCC Tigers. The Spice ladies were on point, and netted four goals, with Ashley DeGroot-Khalil opening the scoring for her team and ending with another. Her efforts were followed by those of Sonia Jardine and the hunter Abosaide Cadogan, who each scored one.
The Tigers put up a good fight, but managed only three goals, with captain Gabriella Xavier making a double and receiving support from the nimble and aggressive Sarah Klautky.
Woodpecker Hikers remain undefeated in the women’s category, earning them the number one spot to date. In the second position is GBTI GCC Tigers. In Group ‘A’ men, Bounty GCC stand on top, and in Group ‘B’, GCC The Sequel are atop. GCC Vintage is ranked number one after playing three games in the Vets’ category.
Action continues today, Sunday October 30, with the semifinals and finals’ showdown promising to be exciting and entertaining, as trophies for MVP, Best Keeper and first place winners, among others, are up for the taking.
