Fernandes pleased with hockey team’s showing

Although disappointed with the seventh placed showing of the team, Guyana Hockey Board (GHB) president Philip Fernandes said he is pleased with the overall showing of the team during the recent Pan American Junior Hockey Championship in Toronto, Canada.

The Guyanese U20 unit finished in the penultimate position after ending the championship with a record of five loses and one win. In an exclusive interview Fernandes said:“While the final placement of the team was not as good as I had hoped, I was able to watch many of their matches online and was pleased with the general performance of the team. There were moments during matches where we were as good as any of the opposition maybe with the exception of Argentina.
