When the Lucozade Indoor Hockey tournament continued at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall on Sunday with men’s quarterfinal action, Pepsi Hikers continued their unbeaten run when they made light work of Saints Splinters, beating them 11-2.

The Bounty GCC won against GCC The Sequel 3-1, giving them a spot in the semis but the tale of the night was Hikers Cadets, who pulled off an unexpected upset against the Saints team beating them 2-1.
The Saints team, comprising many young, talented national players, fought hard but only found the back of Hikers net once. The experienced Hikers side battled and played a hard defence. Shane Samuels converted two of their penalty-corner opportunities. One of the Garnett brothers, Shomere, scored the lone goal for his side.
