St Andrew Hockey club was the toast of the Jamaica Hockey Federation's (JHF) awards presentation recently, copping all three team titles up for grabs.

St Andrew won the Division One ahead of Tropics and Excelsior copped the Division-Two tile ahead of Sharpes and Excelsior. St Andrew also finished on top in the Under-17 category ahead of Tropics and Excelsior.

Individual awards

The team also won four individual awards, Demi Nicholson, took the Most-Valuable-Player prize and her coach and fellow teammate, Michelle Holt, copped the top goalscorer award, having netted 10 times. Goalkeepers Wrie-Ann McIntosh and Gilene Galloway took top spot awards in their positions, playing in the Division One and the Under-17 category. Tropics, runners-up in two separate divisions, won goalscoring awards through Division One's Nicole Grant (6), and Shanar Whyte (13), who took part in the Under-17 category.

Meanwhile, Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) won the men's category. The JDF players were unavoidably absent as they are in action in a overseas tournament. The soldiers won ahead of Circus Circle while Raiders United placed third.
