The tournament was organized by the Youth Club Gurha Slathia.
Giving away the winners and runners up trophies at the concluding function, former Minister and BJP leader Surjit Singh Slathia said winning and losing is part of the game and what matters remains the sportsmen spirit, which forges unique camaraderie among the youth that is important for harmonious growth of the society.
“In sports there is always another time”, he said and hoped that by emulating this spirit the players will do their best and play with commitment. He wished success to the participating teams, saying though just one team makes it to the top yet this should not be the end of the game.
