Australian-born Jerome Buck was set to boost the country’s hockey program and lend expertise ahead of the Central America and Caribbean (CAC) Games campaign by being their Technical Director and National women’s coach but personal reasons will see the specialist not fulfil the initial plans.
This is according to President of the Guyana Hockey Board (GHB) Phillip Fernandes who explained, “unfortunately due to personal reason he had to cancel and we will be looking to who can fill that role”.
