Easy win for Railways on first day:
Guwahati, Dec. 13: Defending champions Indian Railways today opened their campaign in style, posting thumping wins over Gujarat and Tamil Nadu on the first day of the 36th Senior National Women’s Handball championship that got under way at Nehru Stadium and Deshbhakta Tarun Ram Phookan Indoor Stadium on Thursdy.
The Railways women got the better of Gujarat 15-6 and Tamil Nadu 25-1 in two Group A league matches.
