KUWAIT CITY, Sept 15: The KOC Ahmadi Park Hockey Grounds hosted another day of exciting finishes and a demonstration of skilled Field Hockey. One error by Kuwait Independence Hockey (KIH), leaving Dominic Savio striker Sherwin D’souza all by himself, let him score the only goal of the game; a zero angle Tomahawk goal in the 4th quarter of the game giving Dominic Savio a 3-point lead over KIH. Sunil Almeida, President of the Kuwait Expatriate Hockey Association (KEHA), and skipper of KIH commented, “It was a beautifully balanced game, both teams played very well. KIH played more of defense”.
Team Dominic Savio, the only team at present under KEHA to have women on their starting line-up, made consistent attacks right from the start. Leo, Mahmoud, Karl and Anna Tucker penetrated their defense, but couldn’t find the nets in the first 3 quarters; this, combined with 2 good attempts on goal by KIH were saved by the experienced Jayan leaving KIH goalless.
