PAN AM HOCKEY: Guyanese Men lose to T&T

By Treiston Joseph  

It was definitely a tough day for Guyana in the hockey arena as the Guyanese Men followed their female counterparts with a loss at the Pan American Indoor Hockey Cup on Tuesday at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall.

After a tough 2-0 loss for the Guyanese Women against Canada that dropped their record to 0-3 in the tournament, the Men were unable to give the Guyanese crowd something to cheer about, losing 4-0 to Trinidad and Tobago.

Definitely a tough match-up, Guyana and Trinidad ended the first half in a nil-all stalemate as both teams found scoring difficult in the defensive-like game.

Trinidad came out more positively in the second half and scored two quick goals of the sticks of Aidan de Gannes and Jordan Reynos in the 25^th and 27^th minutes respectively.

While Guyana probed for goals they never seemed in with a chance of scoring and a defensive lapse in the final minute would allow an easy shot on target in the 40^th minute by Mickell Pierre, while Jordan Vieira slotted in a brilliant aerial pass to make it 4-0 just before the final whistle.

Guyana will be in action again today (Wednesday) in both the male and female categories.
