Hand XI & MMK College settled for a tame draw ( 1-1) score in the MHA Women’s Hockey League played at the Mahindra Stadium, Churchgate.
Hand XI had a better exchange of hockey than the MMK College girls but their strikers upfront were brilliantly changed by MMK College defence as mostly the tussle was at the midfield, after playing out a barren first half of the play time both sides failed to disturb the scorers.
After resumption both equally balanced sides once again repeated the same script as earlier on , however in the 40th minutes MMK College stunned their rivals Hand XI by gaining the upperhand scoring through a superb direct conversion by Aloma Kapadia during a Penalty Corner ( 1-0 ) stunned by the reverse Hand XI launch attacks back to back on MMK citadel but were unable to get the desire success, whatsoever in the dying minutes Prajakta Bhalerao came up with a outstanding field goal ( 49th minutes ) she fired from a acute angle a diagonal pass unleashed from the right by Payal Chumble ( 1-1) Prajakta strike saved Hand XI from going down to MMK college hence both earning a point each in their kitties.
In the IIIrd Division League match Larsen & Toubro beat BARC by 2-0. Shrikant Bhokhare scored the goals in the 23rd and 48th minutes .
Today, Freunds S/C will take on Ajantha S.C. while Coorg XI will play Chhatisgarh Tribals in the IVth division.
