Hockey won the day on a Sunday in front of 20k crowd
K ARUMUGAM
One women’s match followed by a men’s. Both encounters together produced an amazing 15 goals each one better than the other in conception and execution. Each match was a 60-minute thriller. About twenty thousand in the stadium watched hockey dazzling in front them on a Sunday evening. The way one team seemed overrunning the other just evaporated as minutes, nay, seconds wore on. Could one have imagined a team that amassed 4-1 lead would in fact end up 5-5 and then lose in the shoot out? Meanwhile much of the game was marred by frayed tempers of Delhi & Kalinga players but was managed with alacrity and maturity by young umpire Balaji and senior most Raghu Prasad so as to maintain tranquility and neutrality. Over all, Hockey was at its best on Sunday in Rourkela.
