A Spectator Winning A Poster

At the Primary school compound of the Petit Seminaire school, first match of the ‘Puducherry Schools Hockey Legue’ was held around 1600 hours. About 300 students were brought to the stands to watch the all important match.

There were shortcomings from the part of organizers, that is we, in terms of getting the ground ready, drinks on time etc etc, but once the ball was set to roll, everything else was forgotten and hockey took the centre-stage. There were goals, celebrations, crestfallen movements, after 40 minutes both teams have to split points. The score of the first match stood at 1-1.

The prize money of Rs.1000 and the runners up sum of 250 was shared by both the teams.

For Petit D Balaji and G Bharath for Vivekanandha School pitch in with a goal each.

Bala of Amalorpavam School and Dominique, a personality from Bangalore, umpired the match, in a sense, we have a neutral umpire.

So, dear friends we had started our Mini Hockey Carnival in Puducherry. We will come out with match details and those two players who scored the goal of this match, who won the Man of the Match, who selected him, all in a short while.
