Hikers Ladies and Men Hockey Teams are in the Finals of the Diamond Jubilee Cup
The Women’s Final starts at 18:30 hrs, followed by the Men’s Final at 20:00 hrs.
This tournament is in celebration of Guyana’s 60th Independence Anniversary and is sponsored by the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport. All local hockey clubs across Guyana entered an 11-a-side competition being played under floodlights at the Guyana National Stadium.
After four days of exciting competition, both the Hikers men’s and ladies’ teams have proudly earned their place in the finals.
This achievement is especially special for the Ladies, given that they fielded a team made up mainly of junior players who are less experienced. But despite being the underdogs, they defeated both the Saints and the Old Fort ladies’ teams.
The women will be playing the undefeated GCC Elite, made up mainly of national players who are in great form, given their preparation for the upcoming tour in Trinidad next month.
The Hikers ladies remain ambitious to put up a good fight in the finals.
The Hikers Men continue to show their competitive strength and with Captain Jamarj Assanah at the helm, they take on OldFort, a young, energetic, speedy team.
Wear Yellow or Green and come out and support your favourite club, Hikers Hockey Team 💚💛
Good Luck, Team Hikers
