It has been a herculean task for the coaches to gather children and prepare a team during COVID times. Citing the above reasons many States such as Arunachal Pradesh, Andaman Nicobar, Pondicherry, Sikkim, Meghalaya, Dadra Nagar Haveli, Manipur were unable to send both teams whilst Chandigarh, Goa and Orissa were unable to send their girls teams.

 

The matches were played post the opening ceremony & the result were as follows:-

Host Himachal Pradesh vs Bihar – 21- 04 (Girls), Chattisgarh vs Goa – 26 -01 (Boys section) & Kerala vs Host Himachal Pradesh 9-6 (Boys section).
