The promotion-relegation system is a great move by Hockey India. Will push all teams to perform better. Though I wish there was more TV coverage for these matches - our junior players deserve more visibility!

Disappointing to see Delhi Hockey forfeit the match. These young athletes work so hard, they deserve to play regardless of the result. Hope the association looks into why this happened.

The Maharashtra-Punjab draw must have been thrilling! Equalizer coming just 2 minutes after the first goal shows great competitive spirit. More power to these young sportswomen! 💪

Good to see Bihar getting points, but forfeit wins don't help anyone's development. Hockey India should ensure all teams have proper infrastructure and support to compete properly.

The division system is working well! Creates healthy competition. Waiting to see if Jharkhand can defend their title this year. Their junior women's program is really strong 🏑
