The national trio of Nicholas Triston Grant, Wayne Legerton and Solomon Eccles scored two goals each as defending champions Petrotrin spanked Notre Dame 8-1 in their final Men’s Open Division Pool A encounter to keep hope of reaching the semifinals of the tenth annual Ventures Hockey Club’s Invitational International  Indoor Hockey Tournament alive, yesterday. 
 
Evan Farrell and club captain Dwain Quan Chan, both national players, added one each for the Oilmen to end their four-team round-robin series with six points and a goal-difference of plus-ten at the Woodbrook Youth Facility, O’Connor Street. 
 
For Malvern, which failed to get among the points, Tariq Marcano (two), Kristian Emmanuel and Joshua De Four got the goals. 
 
The win for Petrotrin was the second in-a-row after losing to Queen’s Park, 7-6 in its opening match of the tournament on Thursday night. 
 
Friday, Grant fired in a hat-trick, Legerton two and Quan Chan, Ariel Bowen and Eccles, one apiece in their 8-1 whipping of Notre Dame which faced Queen’s Park in its final match last night with an outside chance of reaching the last four. 
 
The Parkites entered the match with maximum six points and a goal-difference of plus-13 while the Dames had three points and a minus-three goal difference and needed a win by 13 clear goals to have a chance of qualification. 
 
In Pool B, Defence Force ended with a 100 per cent winning record from its four matches after it outplayed Paragon 6-4 in their final round-robin match yesterday inspired by doubles from veteran players Roger Daniel and Nicholas Wren. 
 
The “Teteron Boys” ended with maximum 12 points and was joined in the semifinals by Paragon which ended with the same three points as Corona Fatima, but a better goal-difference of minus-three to minus-15. 
 
Defending women’s champion Paragon faces Ventures II and Ventures I clash with Notre Dame in the two women’s semifinal carded for today. 
 
This after Paragon and Ventures I battled to a 1-1 draw in their group decider to leave both clubs level on 13 points, but  Paragon ahead on a plus-31 goal-difference to Ventures I, plus-17. 
 
They will be joined in today’s semifinal by third placed Notre Dame (nine points) and Ventures II, fourth with six points. 
 
In the Veterans Division, Defence Force stormed into the final as the top seed from the five-team round-robin series after it swept past visitors, St Martin 8-1 led by braces from Roger Daniel, Donny Gobinsingh and Gerard Fergusson. 
 
It was the third win in four matches for Defence Force to end with 10 points from a possible 12 ahead of today’s final against either Corona Fatima or Notre Dame. 
 
Fatima first battled to a 4-4 draw with the Dames before beating St Martin 3-1 with Dean Nieves scoring a combined five goals to carry his team to seven points, two ahead of the Dames who needed a win over Queen’s Park after press time last night to secure second spot and a place in the final today. 
 
At the end of today’s competition, the Open Division winners will each collect a US$1,000 cheque, plus a trophy and hampers. 
 
In addition, individual awards for the “Most Valuable Player”, “Goalkeeper of the Tournament” and “Most Goals” in each category will also be presented.
