INDIAN BOYS ARE JUNIOR WORLD CHAMPIONS!!

Our boys gave a stunning performance for lifting our 2nd Junior World Championships trophy ... We deserved to lift the trophy after a superb performance in the final ... After 15 yrs we managed to lift the second title and with this, we become first host nation to lift Junior World Championship.

Our boys started putting pressure on Belgian side from that start and earned a couple of penalty corners but failed to capitalized ... India took lead through MoM of the final, Gurjant smashed through a reverse hit over the right shoulder of the Belgian goalkeeper, that was amazing hit ... Indian kept putting pressure and in 22nd minute Simranjeet's reverse hit went low from the right of Belgian goalkeeper to give 2-0 lead ... After that, Belgium tried hard but our defense managed to keep the 2-0 advantage at half-time ... The second half was well contested as Belgian players were trying but our boys also gave a splendid performance ... We missed few chances but our player's intensity was very high ... In dying moments we conceded penalty corner and Belgium converted but it was too late.
