We are happy that the young guys got a chance to actively participate and we noted that hey have improved from match 1 to match 3. In any sport the game is the best teacher and we can aver that they have learnt a lot over the course of the competition. We next go on to play for 5^th and 6^th position and even if we don’t win a game we want to see the youngsters improving game by game. Once we get that we will consider this tournament a great success for us”, he reported.
