Sports Authority of India (SAI) racked
up their second consecutive win in the 4th National Men’s ‘B’
Division Sub-Junior Hockey Championship swamping Assam 6-0 at Vadodara, Gujarat.
Abdul Hussain gave SAI the lead in the 6th minute before Shubhan
Verma consolidated the lead in the 17th minute. Minaj Ali and Prashant
Kabeer Sen rattled the Assam cage in the latter stages of the first half to
enable their side go into the half-time break with a cozy 4-0 lead.
Shubhan Verma was again in the
goal-scoring act in the second half before Jyotimoi Borah hammered the final
nail in the Assam coffin in the dying moments of the game. SAI earlier
accounted for Bihar 2-1 in their tournament opener.
