Two goals from Wayne Ed­wards and an­oth­er from the stick of Nicholas Siu Butt earned the "Ca­lyp­so Stick­men" a 3-1 vic­to­ry over Brazil for the gold medal and ti­tle in the men's fi­nal of the Ju­nior Pan Amer­i­can Hock­ey Chal­lenge which came to an end in Bridgetown, Bar­ba­dos on Sun­day.

But the coun­try's women's team had to set­tle for fourth af­ter go­ing down to Guyana 1-0 in the third/fourth-place play­off. Cap­tain Sarah Klautky scored the lone item in the 52nd minute to help the Guyanese take the bronze medal.

Yes­ter­day's win was sweet re­venge for the men in red, white and black af­ter they were beat­en by the South Amer­i­cans 1-0 in the fi­nal match of Pool one in the Un­der-21 Tour­na­ment on Sat­ur­day af­ter­noon. Yes­ter­day's meet­ing at the Sir Garfield Sobers Sports Cen­tre had a sim­i­lar start to Sat­ur­day's match with the Brazil­ians tak­ing the ear­ly ad­van­tage when Lui­gi Lu­nar­di found the nets in the 10th minute from the field.

Siu Butt, who for most of the group match­es played the role of the ar­chi­tect, this time found the equal­is­ing item in the 26th minute of play that lift­ed the team's con­fi­dence. Sat­ur­day's loss was the team's on­ly de­feat of the tour­na­ment, but af­ter Siu Butt's goal which lift­ed the team, Ed­wards took con­trol with a com­mand­ing per­for­mance that sew-up the win af­ter­wards.

Ed­wards fired the ju­nior "Ca­lyp­so Stick­men" ahead of the first time in the 30th minute. And de­spite the chal­lenges by the Brazil­ians, the Ed­wards ham­mered the fi­nal nail in their cof­fin five min­utes lat­er (35th minute) to seal the win.

The first-time Ju­nior Pan Am Chal­lenge was con­cep­tu­alised to bring to­geth­er emerg­ing field hock­ey tal­ent from across the Amer­i­c­as and pro­vide a plat­form for young ath­letes to show­case their skills on an in­ter­na­tion­al stage for both men and women.

The Brazil­ians re­ceived the sil­ver medals while Venezuela pre­vailed over the host na­tion 4-3 from the penal­ty kicks af­ter a 2-2 tie at the end of reg­u­la­tion time for the third-place spot. Ear­li­er in a bat­tle for fifth and sixth, Guyana got the bet­ter of Guatemala 3-0.

By qual­i­fy­ing to the gold medal match, both T&T and Brazil se­cured the two avail­able spots from the tour­na­ment to the Ju­nior Pan Amer­i­can Games in Paraguay from Au­gust 10-19.
