Calappa spurs B’lore Friends
Monish Calappa scored three goals as Bangalore Friends Hockey Club crushed Leo Hockey Club 8-2 in the State ‘C’ division hockey league championship at the KSHA stadium on Thursday.
Calappa struck in the 12th, 20th and 37th minutes, and received support from Michael Bakes, who netted a brace in the 36th and 48th minutes. The other goals for the winners came from Nanda Kumar (25th), Mahendran (28th) and Sanjay Phillip (55th).
And to think that Leo led 2-1 midway through the first half! Banu Prakash cancelled out Calappa’s first goal in the 16th minute and Ranjith Reddy scored in the 18th to give his side the lead, but from then on, it was one-way traffic as Bangalore Friends hit back with a vengeance.
