Coach Shivendra Singh praised the team, saying he is happy with how the players are improving. He said they have had two very good matches and he hopes they will play just as well against France next.
Earlier in the first match, Uttam Singh and Amandeep Lakra started strong. Aditya Lalage scored two back-to-back goals, while Selvam Karthi and Boby Singh Dhami also scored. Ireland managed only one goal as India’s defense stayed solid.
India A will now face France, England, Belgium, and the Netherlands in the coming two weeks. The tour is important to test new players and build a stronger team for the future. Hockey India wants to prepare young players by giving them valuable experience in international matches. The team hopes to continue this good form and make India proud in the coming games.
