Faridpur get nasty on BKSP


Dhaka routed Mymensingh 7-0 while a rough and tough Faridpur held BKSP 2-2 in yesterday's super league matches of the 27th National Hockey Championship at the Maulana Bhasani National Hockey Stadium.

In the day's first match, Jimmy and Dinar struck twice each while Moshiur, Iqbal and Afsar netted one goal apiece as Dhaka handed Mymensingh their second consecutive defeat in the 5-team championship leg.

In a tense match later on the day, a brace by Mamunur Rahman Chayan salvaged a draw for Faridpur, whose players mercilessly tackled the BKSP boys and seriously injured Irfanul Haque.

The BKSP boy had to leave the turf with a bleeding nose and the Faridpur seniors also came close to assault the umpires while they were trailing 2-1.

Chayan put Faridpur ahead after 14 minutes but BKSP's Zahed Bin Taleb cancelled the lead eight minutes before the break. Syed Al Mamun then gave the Savar sport institute lead in the 38th minute before Chayan pulled off the equaliser on the hour.
