National and club captain Alana Lewis scored a pair of goals, but it was not enough, as defending champion Paragon was held to a second straight draw, 3�3, by Georgetown CC (GCC) in the T&T Hockey Board Women's Championship Division. This was at the National Hockey Centre in Tacarigua, yesterday.
Zene Henry got the other goal for Paragon but GCC was equal to the task and got replies through Kerensa Fernandes, Gabriella Xavier and Sonia Jardine to earn a share of the spoils.With the second draw on the trot, Paragon moved to 11 points from five matches, three more than Harvard Checkers, which has a match in hand, followed by GCC with seven and Notre Dame, a further point behind.
On Friday night, national forward Blair Wynne also netted twice for Notre Dame in a 3�2 triumph over Courts Malvern.Chelsea Dey netted the Dames' third in between Wynne's brace, while former national captain and standout Sherlan Cabralis and her cousin Daniella Cabralis got Malvern's goals to reduce the score to 2�1 and 3�2, respectively.
Cabralis (Sherlan) and national striker Krizia Layne had late one-on-one chances to earn a share of the points for the Malvernites, but they both muffed their chances.In the Men's Championship Division, Defence Force missed a chance to close the gap on unbeaten leaders, Petrotrin, to five points after it was held by cellar-placed Fatima 2�2.
Jordan Vieira and Shane Newallo got a goal each for Fatima, but Defence Force got items from T&T international Shane Legerton and ex-national forward Neil Lashley to save face.The draw lifted Defence Force to eight points from four matches and second on the table, one ahead of Queen's Park, but seven behind Petrotrin, which has maximum 15 points from five matches.
