This email is from New Zealand, firstly may I say that under the coaching of Ajay Bansal your ladies played some outstanding hockey. The manager and the umpire on tour gave outstanding contribution to hockey and were great ambassadors for the Indian Ladies’ Hockey.
If these same players are kept together and given the right financial support, I am sure they will become a force in the next four years. The thinking, the passsing and the attacking skills were worth the money we paid to watch. The lady who was marking Mandy Smith was outstanding, Mandy in the last two games did not have any clear chance to dribble and also was marked like an Indian tiger would. Please do mention her name. Your left wing and centre forward were impeccable with the skills. The NZ team were shell shocked and have come to realise that this india team are the future Players. Please pass this on to Mrs Stokes of Indian woemn Hockey.

Also its just been announced that the New Zealand Hockey have accepted an Invitation from the New Zealand Indian Hockey Association to hold a game after the test series on the 24th of June. The Team will be top indian players from the whole of New zealand. This includes the present Indian who play for NZ. This will be a honour for our country and I am sure the indian population of Auckland will trun up to watch this match. I spoke to Your assistant coach who tells me about your site and its founder. Keep up the good work and the updates you have on your site. Also may I suggest that you have a page for Indian Hockey around the world. We can the tell you and give articles of what is happening with top players in NZ. I am sure we have a few Indians in other countries. Keep in touch
