A Hockey Match
Hockey is undoubtedly one of the most interesting and exciting games , from the point of view of both the players and the spectators. It is a fast game , not slow and leisurely like cricket. Besides, there are few uncertainties and surprises in the game. In hockey , victory always goes to the better players, better both as regards skill and coordination. We had an interesting. Exhibition of hockey the other day at the Shiva Ji Stadium. It was a match between the University eleven and the District eleven. The District eleven won this match by two goals to one. The District victory was hard earned. The University men played well, but not well enough in comparison with district team. But the University men certainly made the District Players fight for every inch.
The University men proceeded to give the District team one of the hardest times experienced by them. Never at any time were the District allowed to relax. While the District team had to thank Ajay Sharma and Ravi for their many breakthroughs and Manoj for his cleverly imitated moves, the University team owed much to Rajesh and Wazir.
Exchanges were more or less even the initial session, though the University team for long spells pinned the District team to their own area. But when it came to scoring, it was the team to their own area. But when it came to scoring. It was the District team who took the initiative first. Manoj tried to get the District’s attack going with some well- spread passes. The University team were out first with a penalty corner that could not be used to better advantage. Then followed good hockey, though unproductive as far as goals went, for the next fifteen minutes. A few move between Sunil, Manoj and Ajay Sharma ended with the last getting the better of right – back Hari and hitting the ball in from next to the advancing Goalkeepers. But even as the ball hit the boards, umpire Davi singh pulled up Raman for obstruction and awarded a penalty –push. Ajit converted it into a goal. This happened in the 17th minute. The University team applied pressure, following the reverse and five minutes later, inside – right Jain scooped out from the top of the area. In the last minute of the first half, the District eleven wasted a penalty corner hit.
Once the teams changed sides for the second half, the District team took over the attack and for about ten minutes gave the University defense a gruelling time. The University wasted a penalty corner. Immediately the ball was propelled to the other end where timely advance by Pawan stopped Aditya at the top of the “D”. the game swung to the District half with University forwards, spurred by Hari, going all out for the equalizer. They were not denied for long when Divyansh pushed the ball in from a hectic melee, following a penalty corner hit taken by full- back Wazir that was padded weakly by Raman.
But it was to be a District’s day and now they subjected the University defense to some pounding. Two minutes from the equalizer, Lakhi Ram cut the ball as he took a penalty corner shot and goal was disallowed.
The next minute in a rare flash by Ajay Sharma, the District went ahead, put through by outside left, he entered the area with the ball well in control and dodged the advancing Pawan with a back- hand flick. Pawan stood bewildered as the ball was shot past him into the goal.
