Guyana suffer second defeat at CAC hockey tourney

Two of Guyana’s players trying to gain the upper hand against their Dominican Republic opponent

It was another disappointing day for Guyana men’s hockey team at the Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Games after they were beaten 2-3 by host nation the Dominican Republic (DR) yesterday in Santo Domingo.

The Guyanese were hoping for a victory following their opening game 1-4 lost against Trinidad and Tobago but they came up short against the home side.

Guyana had taken the lead in the 18th minute when Robert France scored from a field goal but the advantage was short-lived after Argeny Cabrera of the DR converted a penalty stroke in the 23rd minute to tie the scores at 1-1.
