Qormi Daikin win hockey Knock-out

Qormi Daikin are the winners of this year’s hockey knock-out competition after seeing off Trust Payment Floriana Young Stars 4-1 in the final played at the Corradino Hockey Complex.

This was an important win for Qormi after failing to clinch the title during this season.

It was not an easy match for the Yellow/Blacks who found Floriana very much motivated to give them a tough challenge.

The first two quarters were a balanced affair with Qormi taking the lead through Keith Calleja but the Greens levelled the score through a penalty stroke scored by Karl Chircop.

In the third quarter, Qormi Daikin adopted an aggressive approach and they managed to score their second goal from a penalty stroke by Juan Sarcia.

The fourth quarter was completely dominated by Qormi who managed to rubberstamp their victory courtesy of Clayton Gatt and Keith Calleja.

At the end of the contest, HAM president Gordon Mifsud presented the cup to Duncan Edwards who was playing his last match for Qormi.
