India’s first ever double leg four nation competition, the Punjab Gold Cup, is all set to commence at the traditional hockey bastion, Chandigarh, on Saturday.
Chandigarh has the unique distinction of hosting the first ever four nation in Chandigarh, that was in 1995, Indo-Pan American Friendship Cup.
India won the Gold that time, which was played in a hot summer and on simple round robin format. USA, Argentina, Canada were the participants, besides India.
The field this time is intense in terms of world rankings of the team in the fray. That Germany and Netherlands are in India is a good development, and the tournament is expected to dish out exciting fare.
The matches have been planned for the evening, starting at evening 4.30 and 6.30.
Col Balbir Singh, who has been made manager, now, was incidentally the manager of the First Four Nation that India hosted in Chandigarh.
Will his team be able to repeat the past is a question we will be asking in the coming week
