Sultan Of Johor Cup: Indian Junior Men's Team Stuns Great Britain With 6-4 Win
Mohd Konain Dad: The Indian junior men's hockey team continued its winning streak as they registered a stunning 6-4 win against Great Britain in a high-scoring game here at the prestigious Sultan of Johor Cup on Sunday. Goals by Mohd Konain Dad (7'), Dilraj Singh (17', 50'), Sharda Nand Tiwari (20', 50') and Manmeet Singh (26') earned India consecutive wins while Rory Penrose's (2', 15'), Michael Royden (46', 59') put their name on the scoreboard for Great Britain.
High on confidence from their opening match win against Japan on Saturday, the young Indian side entertained the Sunday audience with a large presence of Indian hockey fans.
Though they suffered an early setback, when a defensive error cost them dearly in the second minute of the game with Rory Penrose scoring from Britain's first PC, India bounced back in the 7th minute with a goal by Mohd Konain Dad. It was a well-earned PC that saw India level the scores. GB, however, regained the lead in the 15th minute when Rory scored his second goal through a penalty corner. But it was India who dominated the second quarter with their forward line working magic, as they scored three back-to-back goals.
