Great to see Manipur performing so well! Northeast states are really coming up in hockey. Getik Ningombam Singh's performance was outstanding. Hope to see more talent from this region in national teams.

While the results are exciting, I'm concerned about the one-sided matches. Hockey India should work on balancing the teams better. 10-1 and 10-0 scores don't make for good competition.

Captain Ankur Ror from Haryana - what a player! Single-handedly scoring all 3 goals against Tamil Nadu. Such leadership at sub-junior level is impressive. Keep an eye on this boy for future national teams.

Odisha's performance is no surprise - they've been investing so much in hockey infrastructure. Arman Soreng's hat-trick shows the results of their grassroots programs. Other states should learn from them!
