Indian Women Make the Right Noises Against Chile in Tournament Opener
Chile were one of the surprise packets at the 2022 World Cup when they prevailed over Ireland and gave the mighty Netherlands a stiff resistance before going down 1-3, but any semblance of that ‘resoluteness’ was sorely missing when they locked horns with Olympic fourth-placed side India at Estadio Betero in Valencia. The Indian hockey eves made the right noises very early in the contest when vastly experienced Vandana Katariya weaved her way from the right and flicked it to Sangita Kumari, who first beat her marker Fernanda Villagran and subsequently Chilean goalkeeper Natalia Salvador to draw first blood.

K. ARUMUGAM
Mighty Indian Railways fought hard and won the inaugural Sr Women’s Nehru Cup final over the Pritam Siwach Sports Foundation (PSSF) 2-1 on Saturday at the Shivaji Stadium in New Delhi.

While Dronacharya awardee Pritam Siwach stood for the ultimate winners — she is chief coach of the Indian Railways for some years — whereas her husband Kuldeep Siwach, a former national player, did the same for the other team which is named after his wife’s name!
