Players of both the sides played unimaginative hockey.Though, Ludhiana team had ball possession in the first half of the contest, but they failed to put the ball across the rival goalie Anita, who twice made brilliant saves.However, both the goals, which came within a span of nine minutes in the second session, were not the outcome of a planned move. They came in a rush.GCG's defence, which had put up brave front in the first half, gave way in the opening minute of the second half, when Sunaina scored in a goal-mouth melee.A lapse in GCG's defence in the 44th minute paved way for the second goal also. A rushing Suniana deflected the ball into the goal when GCG's defender Gurpreet failed to clear the ball in time.In the later part of the encounter, GCG's forwards made attempts to level the score but the team lacked a sharp shooter.Cricket trialsTrials to select Chandigarh State school under-19 girls cricket team for CK Nayadu Trophy for the forthcoming National School Games to be held at Jammu from December 28, will be held on December 17 at 2.30 p.m., at Government Model Senior School-32.According to Prem Puri, Assistant Education Officer, participants should be below the age of 19 years on December 31, 1998.Joshi transferredS K Joshi, athletic coach, who was posted at Sector 7 Sports Complex has been transferred to Sector 46 Sports Complex, according to OP Puri, District Sports Officer.Meanwhile, Iqbal Singh (athletic coach), has been shifted from Sector 46 Sports Complex to Sector 7 Sports Complex.
