Guyana’s women hockey team place sixth at CAC championships

[www.inewsguyana.com] – The national side fell to Barbados 0-3 in their final game of the Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Championships on Tuesday afternoon in Vera Cruz, Mexico.

A deflection that fell into the path of Keisha Jordan who powerfully struck the back of Guyana’s net got the ball rolling for the Bajan side.

Goalkeeper, Alysa Xavier had been pulled left by the original strike, but the unfortunate deflection made it an impossible goal to save.

With the match flowing from end to end in the blistering Vera Cruz sun, Barbadian right winger, Venessa Chewitt, would complete a brilliant run to put Barbados up two goals to nil before the halftime break.

Chewitt would score again in the second half to complete the 3-nil drubbing of Guyana who had to settle for sixth position in the tournament out of eight teams.
