AVENGERS and Deacons notched victories in the latest round of the 2015 Barbados Hockey Federation (BHF) Hockey 7s League at the UWI Hockey Turf last Saturday night.

In the Women’s National League, Avengers blanked defending champions University of the West Indies (UWI) Blackbirds Hockey Club (UWIBHC) 3-0 in what was a repeat of last year’s final.
