FCI's 15-2 victory is absolutely massive! Laishram Dipu Singh with 4 goals and Nitin with 3 - what a performance! Though I feel bad for ITBP, such one-sided matches aren't good for the sport's competitiveness.

Good to see players from different states representing these teams - Manip Kerketta, Yograj Singh, Laishram Dipu Singh. Shows hockey's pan-India reach. Wish there was more TV coverage though! 📺

The CISF vs Steel Plant match must have been thrilling - 5-4 with goals coming throughout the game! Yograj Singh's brace at crucial moments shows real match temperament. More such close contests please!

While the matches are exciting, I'm concerned about the huge scorelines like 15-2. Maybe the tournament format needs review to ensure more balanced competition. Still, great to see hockey thriving in departmental setup!
