SPYC Veterans hockey
Joe Fernandis XI played with plenty of grit and determination and did well to put it across Chota Nagpur SC pulling off a close 2-1 victory in a third round match of the St Peter’s Youth Centre organised SPYC Veterans’ Hockey League 2019 and played at the Fr. Donnelly Artificial Turf, St Stanislaus High School, Bandra. The feature of Joe Fernandis win was the double strikes from Sadanand Kahar which tilted the match in their favour. Chota Nagpur scored their lone goal through Manoj Kraketta.
