T&T's Kwand­wane Brown, Ayan­na Mc­Clean and Reyah Richard­son were promi­nent­ly in­volved in a sig­nif­i­cant Com­mon­wealth men's matchup be­tween Great Britain and In­dia, which took place as part of the In­ter­na­tion­al Hock­ey Fed­er­a­tion's (FIH) Hock­ey Pro League on May 27.

The es­teemed FIH Hock­ey Pro League is a nine-month com­pe­ti­tion that brings to­geth­er nine of the world's finest na­tion­al women's and men's teams.

The Pro League com­pe­ti­tion re­turned to the es­teemed Lee Val­ley Hock­ey and Ten­nis Cen­tre in Lon­don, Eng­land, for two con­sec­u­tive week­ends of out­stand­ing hock­ey. The par­tic­i­pat­ing teams in this mi­ni-tour­na­ment for the men's di­vi­sion in­clud­ed Great Britain (GB), Bel­gium, and In­dia, while the women's di­vi­sion fea­tured Great Britain, Bel­gium, and Chi­na.

In the match, Browne as­sumed the role of one of Great Britain's as­sis­tant coach­es. His ap­point­ment to the coach­ing teams for Eng­land and the GB se­nior men's squad in Sep­tem­ber 2019 speaks to his ex­per­tise and rep­u­ta­tion in the field. Brown con­tin­ues to be one of T&T's pro­lif­ic hock­ey fig­ures and con­tin­ues to make his mark in the in­ter­na­tion­al are­na.

Mc­Clean, a mem­ber of the FIH's dis­tin­guished top um­pir­ing pan­el, has of­fi­ci­at­ed in pres­ti­gious events such as the Women's World Cup in 2022 and the 2021 Olympics. The Pro League's ros­ter of um­pires con­sists of on­ly 24 male and 21 fe­male of­fi­cials world­wide. Mc­Clean's in­volve­ment as an on-field um­pire in this match marked her sec­ond ap­pear­ance in a men's Pro League match, fur­ther con­tribut­ing to the on­go­ing equal­ly amaz­ing cam­paign in world hock­ey, which ad­vo­cates for gen­der equal­i­ty with­in the sport of hock­ey.

Richard­son, who served as one of the two Match Man­agers for the two-week­end mi­ni-tour­na­ment, as­sumed the role of Tech­ni­cal Of­fi­cial dur­ing the game. Her pres­ence un­der­scores her stand­ing among the top ranks in world hock­ey, hav­ing al­so been part of the del­e­ga­tion at the Tokyo Olympics and the FIH Men's World Cup in 2018.

The thrilling match cul­mi­nat­ed in a 4-2 vic­to­ry for Great Britain over In­dia, plac­ing the GB team at the pin­na­cle of the Pro League rank­ings while leav­ing In­dia in the sec­ond po­si­tion.
