IT was goals galore at the 16th Ventures’ Invitational Indoor Hockey Tournament on Friday night and Saturday at UWI-SPEC, St Augustine. The champions will be crowned today with action continuing from 9 am to 5.15 pm, after an eventual weekend of games.

In the Men's Group B action yesterday, Paragon thumped UWI 8-2 thanks to six goals from Akim Toussaint and Fatima edged SHAPE 5-4 couretsy a pair each from Che Modeste and Joshua Olton. Rounding out proceedings up to press time, Queen's Park Cricket Club (QPCC) II were shocked by Supernova who claimed a 5-1 win.

Women's Group A action saw Paragon edge Notre Dame 2-1 with Zene Henry netting the decisive goal in the 19th minute. Also, UWI edged Magstastic 3-2 after coming from behind twice. Magstastic went ahead through Sade Mohammed in the 7th, only for UWI to equalise through Gabrielle Thompson two minutes later.
