English Essay on "A Hockey Match"
A hockey match played between two strong teams is really a thrilling experience. Last Sunday, I saw an exciting match between our College Eleven and the City Raiders. It was played in our ground, and a large number of spectators came to see the game. Our team had recently won the- Board Zonal Championship, and was naturally considered to be a strong combination. The City Raiders, too, were experienced players and had played in many tournaments. The spectators were excited and eager.

It happened so swiftly that the Raiders could not move before he had reached the ‘D’. The goal.kee per tried his best but he was too late; Niaz had hit the ball right into the goal. We went mad with joy. We shouted and clapped and whistled ; and our players waved to us.
The game started again. Raiders were more vigilant this time. Their centre-forward managed to beat ours, and passed the ball to his right-in who passed it back to him. He dribbled it past our defenders and reached the goal-mouth but our goal keeper stopped the ball and sent it flying back. The ball was now with our players who were working very hard. After a short time, our captain got to ball and raced down to the goal-post. When he reached the ‘D’ he slipped and fell down. ‘The Raiders got the ball arid once again raided our goal. Our defenders fought back valiantly and repulsed it every attack. At this point the referee blew a long whistle and the players walked out of the ground, for it was ‘half time’.

After the interval, the game became very tense. The Raiders played a better game: most of the time the ball remained in our half. Time and again the Raiders’ Captain who was in terrific form reached our goal but every time our goalkeeper stood his ground and created the ball. At last, the time was up and our team came out happy and victorious. They had not let us down.
