Hockey: Trustees face Exchequers

Defending league champions Trustees will look to open a three-point gap ahead of  their closest rivals, Police, when they clash with Exchequers tomorrow at the Theodosia Okoh Hockey Stadium at 4.00pm.

Trustees of the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) last weekend profited from Police’s 3-2 loss to Golden Sticks to grab the top spot of the league  on  goal difference; as they won 1-0 against Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).

The reverse fixture in the first round of the league last August ended in a 2-1 victory for Trustees with their skipper, Matthew Damalie producing a dominant display on the artificial surface.

However, the head coach of Trustees, Edmund Aryeetey, has charged his team to be cautious against Exchequers, insisting that his side have a lot to do if they are to defend their title.

The game is also a must-win for Exchequers, who are in dire need of points as they are currently placed fourth on the six-team league-log with a paltry six points from seven outings this season.
