THRIVING HOCKEY AT TRIBALS HEARTLAND
SUNDAY 10 March, 2001
As many as 86 teams are in action in the 23rd Oscar Severin Memorial Hockey Tournament- 2001 organised by Loyola Jesuit Society, Kunkuri, district Jashpur in Chhatisgarh State.
This may be a record of participation for any hockey tournament in India, perhaps even surpassing the hockey festivities of Coorg in Karnataka.
But, says president of the Organising Committee Fr. Sylvanus Tirki, Principal Loyola Higher Secondary School, Kunkuri, “Every year more than 80 teams participate in the most popular of competitions in the predominantly tribal area”.
The mega event has already commenced on 11th February 2001 on seven grounds. The final will be held on 8th April. This is a week end affair. The knock-out matches are scheduled to be played only on Sundays.
