HC Turquel came 2nd in the Dr. Joaquim Guerra Tournament
Created by Lucas Luís at Wednesday, 25 September 2024
The prestigious pre-season tournament in honor of Dr. Joaquim Guerra took place last weekend (September 20, 21 and 22, 2024) in Turquel, and was attended by Hockey Clube de Turquel, Sporting Clube de Portugal, Associação Desportiva de Valongo and Hockey Trissino, current Italian vice-champion.
The tournament was marked by intense, exciting and goal-laden matches, much to the satisfaction of the fans present. Sporting Clube de Portugal and Hockey Trissino had to manage their squads, using promising youngsters from their youth squads to make up for the absence of some of their key players, who were representing their national teams at the 2024 Roller Hockey World Cup. Even so, the spectacle on the rink was not compromised.

Sporting CP 4-3 Hockey Trissino: The tournament began with an exciting clash between Sporting and the Italian team. Despite the absentees, the lions won a hard-fought 4-3 victory.
HC Turquel 5-1 AD Valongo: The home team, HC Turquel, got off to a flying start in the tournament, beating AD Valongo 5-1 with a dominant display in front of the watchful eyes of the “Brutos-dos-Queixos” fans.
AD Valongo 9-6 Hockey Trissino: Valongo found a way to victory in a high-scoring game against Trissino, winning 9-6 in one of the most exciting games.
HC Turquel 0-4 Sporting CP: In the clash between Sporting and Turquel, the lions showed what they were about. Despite being out of form, they managed to impose their superiority and win 4-0.
AD Valongo 5-5 Sporting CP: One of the most balanced and intense games of the tournament. Valongo and Sporting played out what turned out to be the game with the most uncertain result of the entire weekend. With constant “back and forth” in the score, 5-5 ended up being a good result for both teams.
HC Turquel 9-7 Hockey Trissino: In the last game of the tournament, Turquel beat Trissino 9-7 to secure second place in the final standings.
