The GCC Hockey Team, in its effort to promote youth development in Field Hockey in Guyana, is hosting the ‘Igloo Hockey Festival’ this weekend at the Georgetown Cricket Club, Bourda. The tournament will include competition for all ages including Under 10 (Mixed Categories), Under 14, Under 17 and Under 21 (Boys & Girls) and an Open Men and Women Category.
There will be hockey action this weekend
The tournament is the only one of its kind as it is played on a miniature artificial hockey surface with rebound bounds around the perimeter. Since there is no full-scale artificial hockey pitch in Guyana, the tournament features the exciting 5 a side format being played on the miniature sized field.
This activity is the club’s feature hockey event for the year and provides one of the few opportunities for all ages to play competitively in the sport. The GCC Hockey Team ran off the inaugural event last July and hopes to repeat the success this year.
Several clubs have submitted teams from their development programs right through to senior sides. Apart from the host, the senior competition will feature, Hikers, Old Fort and Saints
Matches begin at 10:00AM on both days and run until 10PM in the evening.
