Maha maharashtra derby

Maha Maharashta Derby: It was business as usual for the Puneri Paltan, who beat U Mumba 35-28 in the 'Maha Maharashtra Derby' at the GMCB Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad on Sunday.

Skipper Aslam Inamdar was their hero once again, with 10 points (9 Raid Points) in his kitty, and was ably supported by Gaurav Khatri (7 Tackle Points) and Mohit Goyat (9 Raid Points). On the other hand, Ajit Chavan won 9 Raid Points for U Mumba.

An even start to the derby clash saw the two sides winning early points. For the Puneri Paltan, skipper Aslam Inamdar was in peak form, regularly getting the U Mumba players off the mat. However, the opposing skipper and defender Sunil Kumar was equally effective, and with only three U Mumba players on the mat, he trapped Pankaj Mohite for a Super Tackle.
