The youthful Everest Hikers second-division men’s team registered two victories to join compatriots Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) who also chalked up their second win in as many matches when the John Fernandes Insurance Services Ltd (JFIS) second division hockey league continued over the weekend.
The Hikers defeated GCC Tigers female team 3-0 last Friday in an exciting encounter which featured the first local mixed gender match in the history of the league.
While the Tigers seemed to enjoy the greater possession, the speed and strength of the Hikers men proved too much for the female line up.
Former national Randy Hope scored the game’s first goal in the 16th minute before Jason Clarke found the back of the net in the 28th.
Promising Ryan Primo netted the game’s third goal in the 30th minute of play.
