Last Friday, the Guyana Hockey Board (GHB) under-14 Indoor Hockey League that is sponsored by Oceaneering, got underway after a three-year hiatus. The tournament, which features matches every Friday until June 23rd in various schools, was highly welcomed by hockey juniors keen for much needed competition after the pandemic.

In the girl’s division, there were some very familiar faces back in action with Kaiyra Scott scoring all six goals to guarantee her team SHC Sensations a 6-2 victory over the Cummings Lodge Samurai. Kaiyra Scott has been playing in this tournament since age seven when it first started in 2017. Newcomers, Cummings Lodge Samurai, defeated Hikers Junior Jets with an exciting goal early in second half from Letifa Fields. GCC Challengers, Kadence Belony and Richard Ishmael Top Shelf Titans, Amya Norville scored a goal apiece to draw their game.

Saints with their usual strong performance in junior tournaments saw their boys’ team SHC Minions defeat GCC Pitbulls 4-0 with goals from twins Jarel and Jaron Isadore and a double from Ezekiel Moses. GCC Outlaws dominated in their first match against North Ruimveldt Multilateral with a 9-0 victory lead by a hat trick from Kyle Couchman.

The league will be held every Friday with games starting at 16:00 hours and concluding at 19:00 hours. This Friday the action will continue at St. Joseph High School.
