Valencia, December 16

Skipper Savita Punia was excellent under the bar as India defeated Ireland 2-1 in the shootout to set up the final clash against Spain in the FIH Hockey Women’s Nations Cup.

Both teams were locked 1-1 after India bounced back through Udita’s 45th-minute penalty corner conversion to cancel out Naomi Carrol’s 13th-minute strike. In the shootout, India struck through Lalremsiami and Sonika off their second and third attempts. Ireland managed a solitary strike in the shootout from their third attempt through Hannah McLoughlin.

Spain beat Japan in the other semifinal after Sara Barrios scored the only goal of the match in the 13th minute.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
