T&T’s Special Olympics (SOTT) field hockey delegation, led by a hat-trick from Devan Mahadeo, recorded a famous 7-1 crushing victory over the USA in the most valiant of team efforts, when action continued in the 2013 Special Olympics International World Winter Games, South Korea, yesterday.
The team smarted from a disappointing 8-0 defeat at the hands of Hungary, to display a confident, all-rounded effort against the Americans. T&T too, started brightly against the Hungarians, but was unable to sustain the momentum.
Gaitrie Rampersad opened scoring for SOTT, before Mahadeo’s hat-trick, and Marlon Worrel, Michael Johnson and Rishi Ramsumair’s lone effort finished off the USA.
T&T will face Jamaica from 10 am (local time) this morning, while USA will challenge Hungary.
