Police, Magnolia continue form at Ventures hockey

POLICE and Magnolia continued their winning ways in their respective divisions at the Ventures Hockey Club 19th International Invitational Hockey tournament at the Woodbrook Youth Facility on Friday.

In the veteran mixed A category, Police whipped Malvern 13-0. Many Police players scored multipe times as Antonio Quashie and Akim Toussaint both notched hat-tricks and the pair of Kerwyn Duncan-Hume and Wayne Legerton scored two goals apiece.

Also on target were Marcus James, Dwain Quan Chan and Nicholas Wren.

Magnolia were made to work for their women’s B division victory over GCC of Guyana 2-1. Abosaide Cadogan was on target for GCC, but sisters Shaniah and Savannah De Freitas both found the back of the net to give Magnolia the victory.

A tight women’s A division match between Paragon and Ventures ended 0-0.

The Guyanese teams were busy in men’s matches.

In the B division, Saints of Guyana got past Notre Dame 4-1 behind a hat-trick from Shakeem Fausette. In an A men’s division contest, Old Fort of Guyana allowed a two-goal lead to slip as they drew 2-2 with Fatima Hockey Club.
