Essay on A Hockey Match

Both the teams were in their respective uniforms. The Khalsa players had blue
shirts and white shorts while the players of Guru Har Krishan Public School had white
shirts and white shorts.

The match started at 3 pm it was quite brisk from the very beginning. The
Khalsas pressed hard but could not score a goal. They got two short corners but failed
to score. Their centre forward moved at an amazing speed. But he was checked by the
full-backs of the competitors. The ball was passed and re-passed like a shuttlecock.
Neither side could score a goal. So, the first half was eventless.

After the half-time interval, the teams changed their sides. The game began
again. The players of Guru Har Krishan Public School got a short corner and scored a
goal. There were shouts of joy from the supporters of Guru Har Kishan Public School
and also from the spectators. Sticks went up in the air. But during the next few minutes,
the Khalsas scored an equaliser.
Shouts of joy from the Khalsa side dominated the sky. The game became more
interesting. The Khalsas rushed forward. Their captain played very nicely. He ran with
the ball into D and hit it hard. But the goalkeeper of the rivals was very active and alert.
He checked the ball and thus, foiled all attempts of the rival team. The spectators
shouted with joy.
Now the time was almost over. Each side tried hard to win the game. But all their
efforts came to a naught. The referee blew the long whistle and declared that the game
was over.
They were given extra time to play. Now, each side tried hard to score a goal.
But neither team could succeed. Thus, the match ended in a draw. It was really a well-
contested match.
