Thompson sisters, Kristin and Gabrielle combined for all three goals to lead Paragon to a 3-1 come-from-behind win over Malvern in their women's Open Division semifinal of 2020 T&T Hockey Board Indoor Championship at the Woodbrook Youth Facility, Woodbrook, on Sunday.
The Malvernites took a shock seventh-minute lead through Kherdine Gonzales which they held until the 18th minute when national forward Kristin drew Paragon level.
Nine minutes later, Kristin handed her team the lead for the first time and a minute before the end of the 40-minutes encounter, her younger sibling Gabrielle added a third item to set up the title match on Sunday against Magnolias, who were awarded a 5-0 win by default over last year's winners Ventures in the other semis.
A day earlier, the Boys Under-19 age-group finalists were also decided with Fatima and Paragon booking their championship showdown contrasting fashion.
Fatima secured a spot in the boy's decider after edging past Malvern 3-2 on sudden-death penalty stroke shoot-out while Paragon trashed Queen's Park Cricket Club 5-0.
The men's Open Division, Trinity men and women and mixed Veterans semifinals will take place on Saturday, March 7, along with the women's Open bronze medal match ahead of Sunday's finals in all six divisions.
