DERBY: All-Egyptian match ends in 1-1 draw

Hockey match between defending champions Egypt Police and compatriots Sharkia ended in a one-all draw. Shakia are determined to regain the continental crown they lost to Police following a 2-1 loss in the finals of last year's tournament at Lugogo Hockey Stadium in Kampala, Uganda. Sharkia boast 22 continental titles and they are confident of bagging a 23rd title. The African giants are yet to lose a match in the ongoing Africa tourney. Mohsen Ahmed scored for Sharkia in the 50th minute through a short corner. Six minutes later, Elshahat Sayed equalised.

LESSONS: HAZ coaching clinic huge success

Eradicators Hockey Club, with the help of Hockey Association of Zimbabwe, held a successful coaching clinic aimed at introducing the sport to school-going children. According to HAZ Vice President Humphrey Chigwedere, the main objective is to take hockey to as many schools as possible and see to it that many people play it. "In Zimbabwe, hockey is more of an elitist sport, but we want to change that because it is a good game that can be played by all," he said. The event was targeting children as young as seven years.
