Jr Women hockey nationals: Haryana beat Jharkhand 3-0, crowned champions



Kakinada (Andhra Pradesh), April 3 - Haryana enhanced their reputation as the cradle of women's hockey in the country by emerging champions of the 12th Hockey India Junior Women's National Championship 2022 here on Sunday.

Hockey Haryana, the defending champions, retained their title by defeating Hockey Jharkhand 3-0 in the final.

Speaking about his team's victory, Hockey Haryana's coach Azad Singh Malik said, "We are very happy that we have won the competition, especially because we have won it for the second consecutive time.

This tournament holds high value for the players because if they do well here then they can move up the ranks in their career."
