Do­minic Young scored a pair of goals as Queen's Park whipped Fa­ti­ma 3-1, to re­gain top spot in the T&T Hock­ey Board Men's Cham­pi­onship Di­vi­sion on Sat­ur­day. This was at the Na­tion­al Hock­ey Cen­tre in Tacarigua.

Go­ing in­to the match, Notre Dame led the ta­ble with 16 points from sev­en match­es, one ahead of Queen's Park, who had a match in hand.

And at the half, the Parkites were al­ready ahead with goals from Young and Nicholas Ca­ma­cho.

On the re­sump­tion, Young got his sec­ond to ex­tend the lead to 3-0 be­fore Jor­dan Vieira got a late con­so­la­tion for Fa­ti­ma.

Queen's Park now has 18 points from sev­en match­es, two more than the Dames while four-time de­fend­ing cham­pi­ons Petrotrin stayed on 13 af­ter an­oth­er sur­prise loss, 1-2 to Courts Malvern, on Sun­day.

The hero for Malvern was teenag­er Teague Mar­cano with goals in the sixth and 13th minute be­fore Wayne Leg­erton net­ted a 66th minute for Petrotrin which has al­so gone un­der Par­adise and Notre Dame.

...Trot­man, Layne pun­ish Notre Dame

Na­tion­al women's team duo, Oire Trot­man and Krizia Lane net­ted two goals each as Courts Malvern pun­ished an un­der­strength line-up for de­fend­ing cham­pi­ons, Notre Dame 4-1.

The win was the third from sev­en match­es for the Malver­nites now with ten points and three left to play.

...Be­har­ry de­nied Dames Mixed Vets crown

Jameel Be­har­ry scored a quick dou­ble as De­fence Force dent­ed the ti­tle am­bi­tions of Notre Dame in the Mixed Vet­er­ans Di­vi­sion with an en­ter­tain­ing 4-3 tri­umph on Tues­day night.

Notre Dame went in­to its fi­nal league match with 16 points from six match­es, one more than chal­lengers, Queen's Park which has a match out­stand­ing and with a win would have se­cured the crown.

How­ev­er, De­fence Force which flicked off its cam­paign lat­er than all oth­er clubs due to work com­mit­ments was first to strike through Nicholas Wren in the 23rd be­fore Leon Ramdeen replied for the Dames sev­en min­utes lat­er.

Nine min­utes af­ter the restart Be­har­ry got his first and with­in a minute he added an­oth­er for a 3-1 De­fence Force cush­ion.

But the Dames were not ready to give up and re­spond­ed through Nigel Prov­i­dence to trim the deficit to 3-2 on­ly for Kirth Davis to re­store the "Teteron Boys" two-goal lead at 4-2.

With two min­utes left Ramdeen fired in an­oth­er to give the Dames hope, but it came too late as his team end­ed its cam­paign with 16 points, leav­ing the door open for Queen's Park which faces Malvern in its fi­nal match to snatch the ti­tle.
