Madhya Pradesh Hockey Academy beating Roundglass Punjab is a big deal! Nammi Geethasri with both goals – superb stuff. But we need to ensure these academies get more government support and exposure. The talent is there, but infrastructure still needs work in many places.
Shabnam with 12 goals for Raja Karan Academy? Unreal! That's almost half the team's total in one game. But on the other side, Hockey Family Badhkhalsa will be gutted – 25-1 is a tough result. Hockey India needs to ensure more balanced competitions so young players don't get discouraged.
Loving the coverage of women's hockey! Harpreet Kaur's hat-trick for Cheema Academy – brilliant. And Pritam Siwach Academy with a 12-0 win, Manjinder with a hat-trick too. This is where the future of Indian women's hockey is being built. Well done to all the players and coaches! 🏑✨
Impressive numbers from these academy tournaments. The depth in Indian women's hockey is clearly improving. But I wonder about the competitiveness – 19-0, 25-1, 12-0 scores suggest some teams are far ahead of others. Hope the system can help bridge these gaps over time.
These academy championships are the real backbone of Indian hockey. From Cheema to Anantapur to Madhya Pradesh – so much raw talent emerging. Hat-tricks galore! 🎩🎩🎩 Just wish the media gave more airtime to these events instead of just big-ticket tournaments
