THE 2014 Farfan and Mendes Men’s Hockey League tournament will conclude on Friday at the Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) ground with one match starting at 16:30hrs.

However, today, the national men’s Under-21 team will do battle with Old Fort at the GCC ground beginning at 16:30hrs – a penultimate fixture.
On Friday, the national men’s Under-21 squad will be in action once again in the final fixture of the League and they will come up against GCC at the same venue beginning at 16:30hrs also.
But according to president of the Guyana Hockey Board (GHB), Philip Fernandes, GCC have already won the league based on the number of points they have accumulated.
Fernandes pointed out that the Board was forced to culminate the 2015 season this year because it was severely affected by rain last year, hence the conclusion in 2015.
The former national player said that almost immediately after the conclusion of the Farfan and Mendes men’s League, the GHB will start the annual John Fernandes Insurance Service Limited’s Second Division tournament as well as a new Woodpecker Products’ Women’s League.
These two tournaments will be contested mainly at the St Stanislaus College facility, Carifesta Avenue, while some matches might be played at other venues, Fernandes stated.
