A WET Bourda outfield forced the Guyana Hockey Board to call off play in the resumption of the 2014 Farfan and Mendes first division Men’s Hockey League, yesterday.Two matches were scheduled in the league’s second round – the National U-19s against Old Fort and Hikers against GCC.

Instead of play, the nationals used the break to train on the artificial turf to the north west of the world famous venue, under coach Robert Fernandes.
The league, which was started in the middle of last year, as well as the indoor season, has been affected by weather conditions.
President of the GHB, Philip Fernandes, said the board will finalise dates for the resumption of play during the course of this week.
The GHB last week released its calendar of events for this year.
The 2015 season officially begins with the annual Bounty One Day opening tournament at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence, on February 15.
It will be followed by the John Fernandes Insurance Services Ltd Second Division League on March 2. The board is also hoping to start a women’s league this year.
The indoor season begins with the Brydens Superclassic at the end of May, followed by the Noble House Goals Galore competition, both fixed for the National Gymnasium.
