Parattu Ravindran Sreejesh won India the hockey match against Holland; helped India win the bronze in the Hockey World League Finals at Raipur. His goal-keeping in the penalties was watchable. An injured Indian and a hockey goal-keeper on the world stage. Mihir Vasavda in The Indian Express reports of the injuries Sreejesh went with into the Holland match; the detailed telling made morning happy. Watched the match on Sunday evening and liked the way Sreejesh crowded out the Dutch players in the penalties; he took them away from the goal and shut the angles. Mihir Vasavda seems sure of game hockey. Holding the ball, tapping the ball, running with the ball like perhaps the Australians are not coming easily to Indians; but these days,our players last a match fit. India could be somewhere near the top four; Rio Olymics 2016 will settle the debate; there is the thought we may display the bronze medal on our necks. For that Sreejesh and Sardar Singh will have to do their best. Me is hoping for a detailed Vasavda piece on Sreejesh in this weekend The Indian Express. Confess to a dollop of Kerala huff, provinicial pride. Checked out sites for spare details on Parattu Ravindran Sreejesh, perhaps the lone Keralite playing international hockey (stand to be pulled up). Has more than 140 international caps and could go on. Australian Dwyer is reported to have 350 caps. Vasavda mentions a street in Kerala named Sreejesh. From Kizhakkambalam village, Ernakulam, he started on sprint, long jump, volleyball before being chosen for hockey at 12, joining G.V. Raja Sports School in Thiruananthapuram. Works at Indian Overseas Bank. Bare details dont tell the man but fated they are to playing hockey. There is Rani Rampal, a fine lady hockey player; Sarada Ugra wrote a column on her in Mint. Rani Rampal will pivot womens hockey at Rio Olympics 2016. If you are a habitual Doordarshan Sports watcher, may know about Rani Rampal, from Haryana and other Indian sports. Something is happening in sports other than cricket and going grossly unreported. Over the last three days, front pages and two sports pages in Mathrubhoomi have been marked for school athletics, Kerala Schools meet at Kozhikode. Reports, colour pixs. India-South Africa Test eclipsed, inside page, bottom. Six reporters: R. Krishnakumar; Anjana Sashi; Rajesh K. Krishnan; M.S. Rakesh Krishnan; Shihabuddin Thangal; Sunil Niruvambadi. Camera: K.K. Santosh; M.V. Sinoj; K.B. Satishkumar; G. Shivaprasad. School girl P.R. Aishwarya breaking records in Hammer Throw and Triple Jump, an odd combination. Ernakulam is heading the table with 20 golds, Alleppey last with one gold. Somewhere in the greens of God's Own Country is seeded an Olympic Gold.
