ONE Communications, on Monday at GCC ground, Bourda, presented the team shirts sponsored by the company for the country’s national women hockey team set to compete for top honours later this week.
The national women’s hockey team is set to battle in the Pan American Hockey Federation Challenge series in Bermuda from September 20th-28th
They will face up against top world hockey sides Mexico, Peru, Brazil, Jamaica and hosts Bermuda. Mexico is the highest ranked at 37 in the world.
Phillip Fernandes, President of the Guyana Hockey Board and Women’s head coach, says One Communications’ support is crucial to the team representing Guyana.
“The tournament runs over 10 days, all in Bermuda and it’s going to be a round robin and a final and we hope that, if we make the final and we finish in one of the top two spots that we actually make it to the next round which is the Cup”.

“We are committed to the development of Sports in Guyana overall, so this is just one of the elements of our contribution to sport and culture in Guyana”.
