NIGHT 2 of the Lucozade Indoor Hockey tournament saw YMCA Old Fort boys and men capture a solid victory over their opponents with nine goals.

The first six of the nine matches of the night showcased the junior category with the opening match pitting GCC Spartans against GCC Tornadoes. The Spartans continued their successful stride from the previous night by winning 3-0.

It was the YMCA Old Fort boys team, comprising Under-21 national boys, who raided the newcomers to the game, GCC War Dogs. The young captain Shaquan Favorite secured 4 goals for his team, Simeon Moore and Warren Williams a double each and one from Daniel Woolford, giving them a 9-0 victory.

Saints S7N just like the Old Fort boys with young national players also made light work of the inexperienced GCC War Dogs with a 16-0 drubbing. Shakeem Fausette led the scoresheet for his team with 5 goals.

The Saints Club junior girls, Saints Conquerors, showed dominance like their junior counterparts by defeating YMCA Old Fort Scouts 10-0. In the last 2 matches of the night in the junior category, Saints Aces girls lost to YMCA Old Fort Samurais 0-2 while Saints Superstars defeated Saints Scorpions 3-0.

In the lone ladies match between GBTI GCC Tigers and YMCA Old Fort Igniters, the nippy Sonia Jardine led her team with 3 goals giving her team the highest score so far in the ladies division 7-0.

In the most competitive game of the night in the men’s category, Saints Splinters pulled off a massive victory over GCC Sequel. Devin Hooper opened the scoresheet with a penalty corner goal in the 5th minute but 2 minutes later Joshua Joseph answered for his team with a raiding field goal.

A minute later, Dwayne Scott kept his team ahead on the scoresheet by shooting a ball past goalkeeper Alleyne. With the game deadlocked and both teams fighting for possession of the ball, GCC showed great composure and skill but it was the speedy Splinters who kept the pace of the game high causing GCC to be outnumbered on several runs.

The Saints fans erupted when Edmond Chninian found the back of the GCC net in the 39th minute. GCC scrambled to draw the game as Chninian again received a pass with seconds left in the 40-minute game and flicked it over the keeper from the far right of the goal. The Saints Splinters celebrated as they won the match 4-2.

The last match of the night saw the young national boys of YMCA Old Fort whip the Hikers Cadets 9-3. Warren Williams who secured 2 goals for his team in the junior category led his team scoresheet with 6 goals.

The tournament continues nightly, and we look forward to seeing the general public.
