Men's HIL: Soorma Hockey Club Beat SG Pipers 6-1, But Fail To Get Through To The Qualifiers
JSW Soorma Hockey Club: Soorma Hockey Club registered a 6–1 victory against the SG Pipers in their final group stage match of the Men’s Hockey India League (HIL) at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar on Thursday. However, they failed to advance, falling narrowly short of what was necessary to make the grade.
Needing a seven-goal win to seal their spot in Qualifier 2, Soorma made a high-intensity start, led by Jeremy Hayward’s (2’, 7’, 34’, 45’) thunderous drag flicks and a counter-attacking strike from Lucas Martinez (11’). Nicolas Keenan (47’) later helped Soorma move into touching distance of qualification in the final quarter, but the SG Pipers held on in the dying minutes to break Soorma’s hopes of advancing to the Qualifiers.
JSW Soorma Hockey Club began the game on the front foot, forcing the Pipers back early and earning a penalty corner within the opening minutes. Hayward stepped up and powered his flick into the right corner to give Soorma a flying start.
