He added that the ongoing tournament and a season full of hockey activities ahead would certainly bring back the form at the club level. “I’m sure there will be close contests ahead in the next round of semi-finals. Moreover, this is beginning of a season full of activities and you will find clubs gaining the confidence and form,” maintained Singh, who is also resident secretary of the Jammu and Kashmir Hockey Association (JKHA) of Jammu wing. |
