Uttarakhand team is performing consistently well. Mansi Khatariya leading from the front as captain! But why aren't these matches getting proper TV coverage? Our young talents deserve more visibility.

Manipur thrashing Kerala 6-0 shows their dominance! Northeast states are hockey powerhouses. Hope BCCI takes notes - this is how you develop sports at grassroots level across all regions.

Wonderful to see girls from smaller states like Puducherry and Daman & Diu competing at national level. But infrastructure gap is visible - hope Hockey India invests more in these regions 🤞

Sonam's hat-trick for Himachal was the highlight for me! These tournaments are crucial for spotting future Olympians. Remember when we found Rani Rampal through similar events?

While the performances are great, I wish the article had more details about player backgrounds. Many come from humble villages - their stories would inspire millions of girls across India!
