PAHF Junior Challenge: Guyana’s women claim 2nd victory with strong performance against Barbados
Guyana’s junior women’s hockey team delivered an impressive performance in their match-up against Barbados at the 2025 Junior Pan American Challenge, securing a crucial early goal and demonstrating significant growth from their previous match.
Building on the defensive resilience gained from their game against Puerto Rico, Guyana entered the match with a more attacking mindset. From the outset, they put pressure on the Bajan defence, using quick free hits to create opportunities in the attacking circle. Their persistence paid off early, as they found the back of the net in the first quarter to take the lead.

The experience gained from their previous match proved invaluable as they held off multiple Bajan advances, maintaining their lead throughout the game. Despite their strong attacking presence and several additional opportunities, Guyana were unable to extend their lead.
With this result, Guyana now sits third in the standings as they prepare for their final group-stage match against Trinidad and Tobago on Friday, March 14, at 12:00h. Additionally, their male counterparts will take on Barbados next on Saturday, March 15.
