Hockey: Seniors ride high

Seniors Hockey Club continue to ride high in the Ashanti regional hockey league, beating Royals 2-0 in last Saturday's match to consolidate their hold to the top of the table on nine points.

Inspired by their captain, Yaw Boafo, the Seniors attacked early to unsettle their opponents but wasted series of short corners until midway through the match when they found the net.

Michael Numnah (Naana) and Samuel Amankwah scored their first goals in the season for Seniors in a fast game.

Sensational Silver club of which so much is expected in the season, could only manage a 1-1 drawn game with 'journey men' Bibiani. Abheyquaye fetched the opener for Silver before Samuel Asamoah equalised for Bibiani. 

One of the big clubs in the league, KNUST, is yet to rediscover the form that made them outstanding last season. They suffered a painful defeat to Unique in a match that they could have won.

They lost 1-2 after a great push-off. And after failing to take advantage of their early dominance, they were punished by Unique with two clinical finishes from the sticks of Emmanuel Antwi and Fredrick Osei.

Christopher Dogbe pulled a face-saving one back from the university students.
