Delhi Waveriders defeat Uttar Pradesh Wizards 3-1
Saturday, 23 January 2016, Lucknow: Delhi Waveriders continued with their winning run defeating Uttar Pradesh Wizards 3-1 in the sixth match of the 4th Coal India Hockey India League today. Delhi with their second win in a row now move to the top of the points table with 10 points. The match which was played at the Major Dhyan Chand Stadium, Lucknow saw the home team losing their second match in a row. Uttar Pradesh Wizards have so far won only one game in the three matches they have played so far.
The first two quarters of the match saw the hosts taking control of the game with a lot of circle penetrations into the Delhi Waveriders side, but the visitor’s strong defensive line denied Uttar Pradesh Wizards from scoring. The hosts had an upper hand with a higher ball possession but some beautiful saves from the Delhi Waveriders goalkeeper ensured that both the teams move into the remaining two quarters with the score board reading 0-0.
The third quarter began with Uttar Pradesh Wizards trying hard to score, but the visitors flawless defence ensured the home team’s efforts were not rewarded. Delhi Waveriders started pressing hard also on the counter and were rewarded with a penalty corner in 42nd minute. Rupinder Pal Singh of the Delhi Waveriders made no mistake thereafter to give the visitors a much desired lead of 1-0 in the game. Delhi continued with their attack thereafter but the hosts denied them from scoring till the end of the third quarter. The fourth quarter began with the Delhi Waveriders pressing hard from the first minute to extend their lead. Their efforts could not yield results for a while but an exceptional move from Delhi in the 59th minute saw the visitors extending their lead to 3-0 in the 59thminute through Steven Edwards, leaving the home team with a mammoth task to save them from a defeat. Uttar Pradesh Wizards desperate to score pressed harder on the counter and scored through a penalty corner in the very next minute through Argentine Gonzalo Peillat to reduce the gap to 3-1 but could not do much there after losing their second consecutive game today.
The Coal India Goal of the Match award of INR 50,000 was presented by Mr. JL Singh, Director Tech.

Save Dissent to Save Democracy   THE rising instances of physical violence and threats against political opponents and the inability to accept dissent must raise huge concerns amongst all of us who see democracy as perhaps the really stellar achievement since Independence. AAP’s attack on BJP headquarters and acts of arson committed under the very noses of their elite leadership; the attacks on Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia in Gujarat in the last two days; the recent manhandling of the caretaker of journalist Siddharth Varadarajan’s house by some garden variety thugs; and the violence and threats meted out regularly to their political opponents by political parties is surely deplorable and condemnable.
