Haryana girls meet Chandigarh in final


New Delhi, April 14, 2013: Hosts Haryana registered a comprehensive 3-0 win over Uttar Pradesh in the first semifinal of the 3rd Hockey India Sub-Junior Women National Championship (North Zone) at Sonepat, on Sunday.

Leading 1-0 at the half time, Haryana scored through Navneet Kaur (16th, 43rd) and Udita (49th) minutes.
Haryana looked a better drilled outfit with a lot of character and composure while Uttar Pradesh committed far too many errors that put them on the defensive for most parts of the match.

Haryana controlled and dictated the pace from the start to enjoy the upper hand. There was variety in their moves with the forwards never starved of passes from the midfield.

Centre Forward Navneet Kaur again made important contribution in Haryana’s victory scoring 2 goals against Uttar Pradesh.

In the second semifinal, Chandigarh defeated Delhi 6-1. Anjali scored maximum number of three goals for Chandigarh, followed by Saroj (2) and Shilpi Dabas (1) against Delhi.

Hosts Haryana will now face Chandigarh in the final  Monday.
