New Delhi, Dec 18 (IBNS): Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports Shri Vijay Goel has congratulated Indian Hockey Team for their splendid win over Belgium in Junior World Cup Hockey finals.

Congratulating the boys, the Minister said India have become the first nation to win the hockey junior World Cup at home and the title is significant as it came after a gap of 15 years for the second time.

He said that of late, Indian players are continuously on winning spree in different International competitions and today’s win is part of that success story.

He said the joyous moment of glory is more enjoyable as it came after Senior Indian Men and Women Hockey Teams lifted the Asian Champions Trophy earlier in the year.

Vijay Goel said the best finish in Hockey in recent times reflects the hard work, dedication, discipline and determination of our players to succeed at the International Sporting arena.

He said his Ministry will keep supporting Indian players in different fields for promotion of Sports in the country.
