The IT team was not in the finals of Football but it didn't reduce the enthusiasm of Football fans who saw a crunching final. The Hockey team also didn't disappoint an bagged the gold too.

The team with injuries, yes the combination today was not up to the marks and it cost a match to IT-BHU.After a close defeat yesteday team M.E.R.I. came up with practice and new strategies and played really well. IT lost the match by 2-0. The IT captain was not at all happy and aid that the team's performance was below par today and so the team had a very long and tough pratice session ensuring that IT not gonna lose the grand finale of the game. There were a number of  faults oour defence and they took them as  golden opportunities to convert them into goals.The team thinktank of IT will comethrough these errors and will show some real game tomorrow.The opponents were not lagging behind in rough gaming and almost hurt Manish(14),Aditya,Prabhjot and Rahul.

Day 2: Hockey

Our National Sport Hockey may not be the most popular of sports across the nation,but when it comes to hockey matches at Spardha,they are as energetic as electrons. The first match was between YMCA and MERI ,Kolkata which was dominated by MERI,Kolkata with the score line 8-0. But in midst of the game one of the players of the YMCA team got injured as he was hit by the hockey of another player by mistake and was immediately taken to SSL hospital. The YMCA team didn't played after that sad incident and MERI Kolkata was declared the winner. In the second match IT-BHU got a bye too as YMCA didn't played the match in the evening.
