MUMBAI, MARCH 11: Enrico Fernandes will lead a 17-member Tata Sports Club hockey team for the National Championships currently underway in Hyderabad.
Grouped along with Karnataka, Central Excise, Delhi, Chandigarh and Madhya Bharat in Pool G, manager Nasir Khan felt that Tatas had a definite chance of making the quarter-finals. “Some of our players were a part of the Maharashtra team that made the final of the National Games. So we are a strong side,” said Khan this evening.
The team has a sprinkling of a few internationals, one of them Olympian Gavin Fereira, who said this would be his last shot at grabbing a place in the national side, as Tatas leave for their first Nationals tomorrow.
