Ghana’s male hockey team hammered their Namibian counterparts 7-1 in the 2016 Men’s World Hockey League Round 1.

The Black Sticks who are ranked 46th in the World showed superiority over their colleagues from Southern Africa by defeating them in the second men’s game of the day after Kenya had beaten Nigeria in the other game.
