GHB’s 2015 season to continue today with more action

The Guyana Hockey Board’s (GHB) 2015 season swung into full gear yesterday and will continue today at the Georgetown Cricket Club ground from 13:00hrs with Old Fort taking on Saints Stanislaus College.

Yesterday saw the start of the 2015 edition of the John Fernandes Insurance Second Division Men’s League, as well as the inaugural Woodpecker Products Ladies League, 2013 champions Hikers.
However, Hikers was without the services of their junior stars Aroydy Branford, Andrew Stewart and Jamarj Assanah, for the first time since they made their debuts for the club.
The trio have been debarred from competing in second division competitions after making the senior national side, which won a Bronze medal at the 2014 Indoor Pan American Cup in Uruguay.
Today’s action will begin at 13:00hrs when Old Fort, led by junior nationals Deheron Wilkinson, Stephon Sprosta and Omar Hopkinson, take on the Ato Greene, Joel Hunte and Kevin Edwards led Saints side.
The match will be followed by the opening encounter of the inaugural Woodpecker Products Ladies League between a Hikers side featuring senior nationals Maria Munroe and Tekeisha Deleon, against a young Old Fort squad full of talent such as Bushani Kaladeen, Minsodia Culpepper and Owinter Henry.
The feature match of the day will be at 16:30hrs between Men’s heavyweights GCC and Hikers. All matches will be played at the St. Stanislaus College ground, on Carifesta avenue.
The ladies competition will also feature the dominant GCC ladies as well as a national under 20 women’s squad, which will be included to build experience for the 2016 Pan American Junior Championships scheduled for April of next year in Trinidad. This year’s competitions promise to be extremely competitive since a large number of the participants are part of the Board’s junior training programmes.
