Great to see academies from Sonepat, Amritsar, and even Kolkata doing so well. The grassroots structure is really paying off. Diya scored 5 goals - what a talent!
Tanvi scoring 10 goals in one match is incredible. These senior players need to be nurtured properly. Hope Hockey India is tracking these young stars for future international tournaments.
So proud of our girls! But honestly, matches with scores like 20-1 or 25-0 suggest a big gap in quality. The weaker teams need more support and exposure so the competition gets more even. 🙏
This is what happens when we invest in proper academies like Pritam Siwach and Ritu Rani. Kaafi impressive! Especially our Punjabi academies are producing world-class players consistently. Keep it up girls! 💪
Excellent to see MP Hockey Academy also doing well at home. The future of Indian hockey is in safe hands. Just hope we don't neglect these young players when they transition to senior level.
Amazing performances from these young women. The scores are one-sided but that's part of development. Even the losing teams get crucial match experience. Good to see the sport growing across India!
