Marang Gomke Astro Turf Hockey: Ranchi Royals delivered a dominant performance in their Men’s Hockey India League (HIL) clash against SG Pipers, riding on an extraordinary five-goal haul from captain Tom Boon to register a comprehensive 6-2 victory and underline their attacking prowess in front of their home crowd at the Marang Gomke Astro Turf Hockey Stadium in Ranchi on Wednesday.

While Mandeep Singh (13’) and Tom Boon (17’, 40’, 41’, 50, 60’) were on the scoresheet for the Royals, Tomas Domene (20’) and Gareth Furlong (39’) netted a goal each for the Pipers.

Ranchi Royals enjoyed the early share of possession and created the first attacking move of the match, but SG Pipers soon settled into the contest and came close to opening the scoring in the fourth minute when Dilraj Singh’s effort was brilliantly cleared off the goal line by a Royals defender.
