Speaking on the win, Madhya Pradesh Hockey Academy Coach Vandana Uikey said,
“It was a really tough game. We did get the lead in the first quarter, but couldn’t capitalise on it in the second and third quarter. After a lot of attempts, we finally got back-to-back goals in the final quarter. Our defense played really well today. Overall, it was a great tournament for the team. We defeated tough opponents in the Quarter-Final, Semi-Final and in the Final as well. It was really great to see these young players overcoming such challenges and emerge as the Winners of the Tournament.”
She further expressed, “It’s always a special feeling to win the Championship at home. It’s a great achievement for these young girls and for Madhya Pradesh Hockey Academy as well. I believe these types of tournaments will help in developing that competitiveness right from a young age. It will help the players understand their game from a young age itself.”
