As planned, the 1st Promotional Field Hockey Tournament has been held in Oruro, Bolivia last week, with the participation of “Full Hockey Oruro” and “Las Miners del Hockey” on the side of the women and “Los Diablos del Hockey” and “Quirquinchos de Corazón” on the men’s. The matches were played on the artificial soccer turf Gesber 3 located in the sports complex in the north zone of the city. It is important to highlight that this is the first ever Field Hockey Tournament held in the country and therefore they are able to state that the first ever Field Hockey goal in Bolivia soil was scored by José Fernando Apaza Miranda, a player of the Diablos de Hockey Team in the fifth minute of the first half and celebrated with joy by his teammates.
The women´s tournament featured no winners or losers amongst the teams of Full Hockey Oruro and Las Miners del Hockey. Both teams, had the chance to score, however their opponents were slowly getting the hang of the game and therefore the scoreboard stayed at zero.
Meanwhile in the men´s tournament Los Diablos de Hockey Team came away with a victory of 3-0 against their rivals Quirquincho de Corazón. Goals were scored by José Fernando Apaza Miranda in the 5th minute, Brayan Ríos Ramos in the 8th and Aldair Chungara Paredes in the 7th minute of the second half.
