JAMMU, Sept 20: Host Jammu and Kashmir made a poor beginning when the boys lost to Haryana by three goals to nil in the inaugural match of the National School Games in under-19 football at MA Stadium, here today.

Maninder scored the third goal for his team in the 33rd minute to give his side an unbeatable lead. However, host J&K boys tried their level best to reduce the margin but all their attempts proved to be futile exercise.
