It was a day to remember for those who wore the captain’s armband as Pepsi Hikers’ Robert France and GBTI GCC Tigers’ Sonia Jardine produced quality performances to lead their sides to championship glory in the Bounty and Antonio’s Grille one-day outdoor hockey tournament at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence on Saturday.
Hikers, in the final, defeated Bounty GCC the Sequal 2-0. Both goals came off the stick of captain France either side of the half-time whistle as he delivered yet another title for his side.
Semi-final action saw Hikers sneaking past Bounty GCC Pitbulls 2-0 in a penalty shootout while the Sequal accounted for YMCA Old Fort Carriers 1-0 via a similar route.
In the women’s final, captain Jardine stuck a needle into GCC Spartans’ goal to deliver a 1-0 win for the Tigers.
Spartans in the semis overcame Saints 3-0, compliments of a brace from the stick of Abosaide Cadogan while Diana Charles netted the other goal.
Princess Wilkie was in prime form for Tigers in the semis as she netted a brace during her side’s 3-0 win over GBTI GCC Spice, Jardine scored the other goal.
The competition saw the participation of seven male and five female teams as 25 games were contested on the day.
