"This year the standard was particularly high, with exceptional play and sportsmanship."

Sixteen teams from across India participated in the tournament, the biggest of its kind in northern India, with schools coming from as far afield as Bangalore. The boys’ teams included Welham Boys School, The Doon School, Motilal Nehru School of Sports, Sacred Souls School, The Asian School, Modern School, Bangalore International School and Woodstock. The girls’ teams were Welham Girls School, Sacred Souls School, Strawberry Fields High School, Modern School, Motilal Nehru School of Sports, St. Joseph Academy, The Heritage School and Woodstock.

Woodstock’s Student Life Coordinator and Head of Sports Ajay Mark said, “This year the standard was particularly high, with exceptional play and sportsmanship. The competition was closely fought, and in particular the semi-finals where only a handful of points separated the teams.  We should remember that while this is a platform for school level players, some of the players we see here at Win Mumby could well be representing the country in the near future.”
