India's National Game Hockey has a successful Tale to tell when their Goal Keeper
Sreejesh guarding his Motherland under the bar did a tremendous job to advance India to
the semifinals of the ongoing Asia Cup Hockey tournament at Ipoh in Malyesia.
Sreejesh did save India as many as 7 clear saves from thye attempts from the Defending
Champions South Korea in their repeated raids breaking the defence of India.
Sreejesh in fact produced a Brilliant display of courage&efficiency under the bar
for the two times Champions India
But defeating an expert outfit like South Korea is indeed is something to remember for a
long time to come thanks to the Hero of India Sreejesh without the help from him it was
almost a certain defeat for India.
India had earlier in the 6th minute of the match had converted a Penalty corner to a
corner cleverly by Raghunath.Again in the 65th minute Mandeep Singh who hold the
reputation of scoring goals had hammered the final nail with a powerful shot from
the top of the circle just five minutes time left for the Hooter.
In the meantime South Korea had raided the Goal of India continuously though such
advances turned out to be Futile with the strong presence of Sreejesh with enormous
element of Courage.
Had he failed to guard so efficiently India could have lost the match with a margin
of as many as 4 goals.
India's arch Rival Pakistan also made it into the Semi Final from the other pool "A"
Now it would be a pleasant experience to watch the further progress of the Tournament
in this year of series of victorries for India in other Games Cricket&Soccer.
