It's game time in Jalandhar, and Sri Guru Gobind Singh College in Chandigarh Sector 26 is sending a power-packed contingent to the turf. Nine of its finest hockey talents have been named in the Chandigarh squad for the prestigious 15th Junior Men National Hockey Championship, being held from August 12 to 23 in Punjab's hockey heartland.

The formidable line-up also includes Premjeet Singh, Sharandeep Singh, Rishav, Sukhampal Singh, Satnam Singh, Mohd Zaid, and Dheeraj.
Professor (Dr) Gurcharan Singh Gill, the team in-charge, and principal Dr Jaswinder Singh have expressed confidence in the squad. 'We wish our team the very best and hope they make us proud,' said Dr Jaswinder Singh, adding that he expects the players to bring glory to both the college and the Chandigarh team.
