Club Cup hockey
MSC-Usha clash today


The season's first big match will take place today when Mohammedan Sporting Club face Usha Krira Chakra in the last group encounter of the Club Cup hockey tournament.

The giants' clash kicks off at 3 pm at the Maulana Bhashani National Hockey Stadium.

Both teams have already confirmed their semifinal berths winning their previous three matches and the result will determine the Group A champions.

Defending champions Mohammedan will be aided by two Pakistani recruits, forward Mohammed Asim and defender Aleem Raza, against an all-local Usha, who are trying to bring two Indians before the semifinals.

Meanwhile, Sonali Bank earned a solitary goal victory against Wari Club yesterday at the same venue.

Sohel netted the all-important field goal in the 9th minute.
