SJAN to fete soccer, hockey players

TO MARK the  International Sports Journalists’ Day, Sports Journalists’ Association of Nagpur (SJAN) will felicitate talented football and hockey players at a function to be held on Tuesday, July two, at the old Rural Police parade grounds, Takli at 10 am.
The programme has been organised in association with Nagpur District Football Association (NDFA). Members of NDFA Second Divisional champion team Al Aziz Football Club will be feted on the occasion. Four city women hockey players who had represented Maharashtra in the nationals will also be honoured.
An exhibition football match between journalists and NDFA officials will also be played on the occasion. Even as the journalists have listed out their players, the NDFA staff is also eagerly looking forward to this friendly, where not only will the football be seen bouncing around sportingly, but also pot-bellies and pot-bellies in the making will also perform likewise. Both organisations are grateful to City Police for allowing them to kick-around at their playfields.
