Twin losses for Assam:
Guwahati, Dec 14: Hosts Assam on Friday opened their campaign with two losses in the 36th senior national women’s handball championship at Nehru Stadium here.
The home side went down fighting to Madhya Pradesh 15-17 in their Group C match and then to Himachal Pradesh 12-13. The Assam women’s best efforts went in vain, as their opponents scored over them both in speed and temperament.
Manipur, on the other hand, have won in the two matches they have played so far in Group D. Manipur edged past All India Universities 20-17 and then tamed Uttarakhand 20-4 this evening.
Tripura registered the biggest win of the day, thrashing Tamil Nadu 40-3 in a Group A match, signalling a challenge to defending champions Indian Railways who are pitted in the same group.
The Handball Federation of India today decided to bid for an Asian Championship to be held in Guwahati next year and also to organise some national coaching camps here.
