It’s hockey’s version of three the hard way.
Barbadian teams Maple, A Badd Connection and Sentry Rockets all tasted champagne at Kensington Oval yesterday, the final day of the 2011 Banks International Hockey Festival.
But this was a special celebration, as each team were celebrating a three-peat.
Maple earned the title with a 5-0 drubbing of Trinidad’s Queens Park Oval. A Badd Connection and the Rockets had to battle hard to hold on to their trophies, with wins over Old Gold Roosters and Dominion, respectively.
