AMSTERDAM: Gurjant Singh and Mandeep Singh scored a goal apiece as a resolute Indian men's hockey team overcome world No. Led by Manpreet Singh, the team last night featured nine players from the junior team, but still beat an experienced Netherlands squad through goals from Gurjant (4th minute) and Mandeep (51). Soon after, the Dutch won a PC but debutant goalkeeper Suraj Karkera was up to the task to defend. "I am very happy with the way the entire team performed as one unit especially the players making their debut. They showed no sign of nervousness and played with a lot of confidence," said an elated skipper Manpreet after the series win.
