Ludhiana, August 4

The players of Sports Authority of India (SAI) Training Centre Ludhiana and Ropar proved too good for their opponents as they emerged champions in the boys’ and girls’ sections, respectively, in the North Zone Inter SAI Centres Handball Tournament held at Government Model Senior Secondary School ground of the Punjab Agricultural University here today.

Three teams in girls’ and as many in boys’ section battled it out for top honours in the one-day competition.

Excelling in pace and power, players from Ludhiana centre and those from Ropar exhibited great mobility and ball control to romp home as victorious. Their rivals failed to cope up with onslaught unleashed by both centre players and appeared to be minnows.

In boys’ section, SAI Centre, Jammu, secured second position, whereas Mastauana Sahib Centre finished at the third place. Likewise, in girls’ section, SAI Centre, Guru Nanak Dev University campus, Amritsar, finished as runners-up and Mastauana Sahib had to be content with the third spot.
