Wonderful performance by the women's team of Vivekananda College as well! 6-2 is a commanding win. It's heartening to see women's hockey getting equal prominence in the report. More power to all the players!
Khalsa College thrashing Amity 8-2... that's some serious goal difference! Manish and Vipin were on another level. But respectfully, the article could have given a bit more context about the tournament's history or the level of competition.
As someone new to following Indian sports, this is exciting! The energy in these college tournaments must be amazing. Are there any streams for the semi-finals? Would love to watch.
SLC Morning vs SLC Evening in the same tournament? That's an interesting internal rivalry! Must have been a fun match for the college. Hope they keep this legacy of the Padma Shri Shyam Lal memorial going strong. 🇮🇳
Impressive scoring across all matches. It's good to see the focus on individual players like Pankaj, Manish, and Shekhar as 'Player of the Match'. Recognising such performances at the grassroots is key for motivation.
