Hocky players go golfing

(CNS): The Cayman Islands Ball Hockey Association (CIBHA) held its first annual Golf Tournament on Friday 15 May at the Britannia Golf Course. It was a tremendous success, say organisers, and played host to 80 golfers. Everyone enjoyed an afternoon of golfing while raising money to support the CIBHA’s trip to the 8th World Senior Ball Hockey Championships to be held on June 13th -20th in Pilsen, Czech Republic.

The Reflections Team of Sam Houston, Sean Houston, Lito Retumba and Denny Edward (right) won the tournament with second place going to Scott Gossen, Mike McDonald, Chris Creighton and Tony Fantasia. Richard McMillan won long drive while Lito Retumba won closest to the pin.

“For our first tournament it was a resounding success with many CIBHA members taking part. Everyone had a great time and I look forward to a bigger and better tournament next year. I believe we raised enough money to pay for our team uniforms and track suits.” Mark Thompson, CIBHA President commented.

Cayman Islands Sauce Company and Essential Services hosted a side game which consisted of shooting a hockey ball into a net 50 yards away. This raised some additional funds with the winner of a two nights stay at The Grand Cayman Marriott Beach Resort being Jeff Hart determined by a shootout on the Lone Star Bar & Grill patio.

CIBHA would like to thank all participants and sponsors who made this tournament a great success especially the Britannia Golf Course Team who worked hard to ensure that everything ran smoothly and the management and staff of Lone Star Bar & Grill which hosted the buffet
dinner afterward.
