GCC Outlaws, SHC Sensations win as U14 Hockey League serves off

Friday saw the Guyana Hockey Board (GHB) kick off its U14 Indoor Hockey League after a three-year hiatus.
The tournament, which features matches every Friday until June 23 at various schools, was highly welcomed by hockey juniors keen for much-needed competition after the pandemic.

In the Girls’ division, there were some very familiar faces back in action, with Kaiyra Scott scoring all six goals to guarantee her team SHC Sensations a 6-2 victory over the Cummings Lodge Samurai. Kaiyra Scott has been playing in the U14 tournament since age seven when it first started in 2017. Newcomers Cummings Lodge Samurai defeated Hikers Junior Jets with an exciting goal early in the second half from Letifa Fields. GCC Challengers’ Kadence Belony and Richard Ishmael Top Shelf Titans’ Amya Norville scored a goal apiece to draw their game.

Saints with their usual strong performance in junior tournaments saw their boys’ team SHC Minions defeat GCC Pitbulls 4-0 with goals from twins Jarel and Jaron Isadore and a double from Ezekiel Moses. GCC Outlaws dominated in their first match against North Ruimveldt Multilateral with a 9-0 victory led by a hat-trick from Kyle Couchman.
The league will be held every Friday with games starting at 16:00h (4:00pm) and concluding at 19:00h (7:00pm). This Friday, the action will continue at St Joseph’s High School.
