Ranchi (Jharkhand) [India], July 14 (ANI): Hockey Jharkhand was crowned as the Champions of the 15th Hockey India Sub Junior Women National Championship 2025 - Division 'A' after defeating Hockey Association of Odisha 1-0 in the final at the Marang Gomke Jaipal Singh AstroTurf Hockey Stadium in Ranchi, Jharkhand. Hockey Haryana secured the bronze medal after defeating Hockey Mizoram 3-3 (shoot out 5-4) in the 3rd/4th position match. In the final match, Hockey Jharkhand won 1-0 against the Hockey Association of Odisha.

In the 3rd/4th Place match between Hockey Haryana and Hockey Mizoram, Hockey Haryana secured the third place and won the Bronze medal after defeating Hockey Mizoram 3-3 (SO 5-4) in a nail-biting thriller. K Vanlalpeki (9') opened the goal count on the scoreboard for Hockey Mizoram, but captain Bhavya (19'), Durga (27') and Manjinder (30') soon took the lead for Hockey Haryana to push Hockey Mizoram on the backfoot throughout most of the game. Hockey Mizoram tried hard but couldn't convert the opportunities against the strong defence of Hockey Haryana until the very last minute, where Laldinpuli's (60', 60') heroics helped Hockey Mizoram end the match with a draw as the final whistle was blown, as she scored two back-to-back goals. In the shoot-out, again, it was a neck-to-neck competition between both teams. Captain Bhavya, Manjinder, Neeshu, Radhika and Harshita scored for Hockey Haryana in all five chances that they got. On the other hand, Laldinpuli, K Vanlalpeki, C Lalruatsiami and Lalnunfeli could only score out of their five chances and fell short in a closely contested game. Hockey Haryana's Goalkeeper Saina's match-winning save in the shootout stood out as a difference maker and helped her side end their campaign on the podium. (ANI)
