Anas had a decent start and Nirmal pushed us to the 6th spot and Arokia Rajiv handed over the baton to Amoj in the 5th spot and Amoj finished strong to get to 4th spot with an Asian Record of 3:00.25.

Indian women lost to Great Britain in the Bronze Medal match 4-3. First quarter GB had more chances but India defended well to keep the score 0-0 in the first quarter. In the second quarter GB went up 2-0 and before India came back through to equalize 2-2 through couple of penalty corner conversions with Gurjit launching her drag flicks. Then India went up 3-2 through a field goal of Vandana. India went with the lead 3-2 at half time. The third quarter was evenly poised before GB equalized 3-3. India had an yellow and green card back to back to play about half of the 4th quarter a woman down and GB utilized to pressure us to get a PC. They converted the shot corner to go 4-3 up and India was not able to equalize and lost the match 3-4. It was a very good match and the Indian women exceeded all expectations to get this far. Hope we are able to build up on this performance and reach greater heights.
