Jamaica’s male hockey team crashed 0-3 to Trinidad and Tobago (T&T) in their final match on Sunday and gave the twin island Republic a clean sweep of the International Hockey Federation (FIH) World League Round One competition.

Akim Toussaint scored twice for T&T in the 45th and 67th minutes and Tariq Marcano completed the rout in the 60th minute.

The tournament, held over five days and ended at the Mona hockey field in St Andrew, saw T&T topped the four-team group with eight points ahead of Jamaica with five and the Dominica Republic with three points. Barbados finished bottom with two points.

While Jamaica did not score a goal in Sunday’s final game they did play some encouraging hockey, but were beaten by a sharper T&T team that showed they were in constant competition.

Jamaica looked as though they belonged in the same league as T&T in their approach, however, what seemed to be missing from the Jamaican’s arsenal was that lack of presence of mind and anticipation that is at hand, when one is constantly engaged in high level competitive play.

Trinidad and Tobago women, like the men, played unbeaten to win their section of tournament and in process also advanced to Round Two along with the Dominican Republic to be played in Montevideo, Uruguay, next year February.

T&T finished with 12 points ahead of Dominican Republic on eight. Barbados, Puerto Rico and Jamaica brought up the rear.

The Dominican Republic women lost only to T&T and overcame Puerto Rico and Barbados in the five-team pool.

Host Jamaica finished bottom of the group losing all their games. The lost 0-3 to Dominican Republic; crashed 0-2 to Trinidad and Tobago; drew 1-1 with Puerto Rica, but succumbed 1-2 on penalties, and lost 1-2 to Barbados.
