Jovan Wren, the son of former national hockey duo, Cecile and Nicholas Wren stole the spotlight on the opening day of the T&T Hockey Board National Indoor Championships Boys Under-19 Division at the Woodbrook Youth Facility, on Saturday.
Wren scored a beaver-trick (5th, 15th, 23rd and 29th minutes) to lead Courts Malvern to a resounding 7-0 hammering of Petrotrin. This after Jacques Poon-Lewis (first) and Jeshajah Drayton (3rd) had given them a 2-0 lead while Daniel Byer also netted in the 25th.
Malvern ended the day second on goal-difference from Fatima in Pool A with both teams on four points, after they battled to a 2-2 draw with the latter twice coming from behind.
For Malvern, Poon-Lewis found the back of the net in the first minute and Drayton, in the 11th, but each time, Fatima responded with Jordan Vieira scoring both goals, in the third and 26th minutes.
Earlier, Fatima blew away Shape 8-1 with Vieira (20th & 25th) and Scott Pichery (23rd & 30th) scoring second-half doubles.
Shape kept in contention for a top two finish and semifinal spot with a 5-0 trouncing of Petrotrin thanks to a hat trick from Sheldon De Lisle and two from Ghardel Elcock.
Checkers through to Girls final
Rasa-Keli Thomas and Zhara Bruce were instrumental as Harvard Checkers won its first three matches of four to secure a spot in the Girls Under-19 Division final of the T&T Hockey Board National Indoor Championship at the Woodbrook Youth Facility, Hamilton-Holder Street, Woodbrook on Saturday.
Thomas scored twice in wins over Petrotrin (4-0) and Paragon (2-1) while Bruce and then added a hat trick in a 3-0 demolition of Petrotrin. With one round-robin match left to complete its schedule, Checkers lead the three-team table with maximum nine points, six more than Paragon which has two matches left.
Daniel treble leads Dames past Oilmen
National forward Shaquille Daniel scored a hat trick to lead Notre Dame to an entertaining 5-4 win over Petrotrin in their Men's Open Division clash, the lone Open match on the opening day.
However, early it looked as though the Oilmen would ran away with a lopsided win after Evan Farrell (seventh) and Solomon Eccles (tenth & 17th) handed their team a 3-0 lead before Daniel netted on the stroke of half-time for the Dames to trail 1-3.
Two minutes after the restart, Wayne Legerton extended Petrotrin's lead to 4-1, but the Dames then turned the match on its head with four unanswered goals.
