Having already qualified for the semifinals, Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) and Indian Railways played out their respective last pool matches of the 95th MCC-Murugappa Gold Cup All-India hockey tournament on Thursday (September 26, 2024) in contrasting fashion.

With four of its key players suffering from viral fever, IOC wasnโ€™t keen to push them, and it reflected in the way the team performed on the field. The former champion ensured it pulled off a 5-5 draw with NCOE, Bhopal in a Pool-B contest and remain the leader in its group. Later, in a Pool-A match, the defending champion Indian Railways didnโ€™t allow any such concessions to its opponent as it thrashed Tamil Nadu 5-0 to top the group. Friday is a rest day. The semifinals – Railways versus Odisha and IOC versus Army – will be held on Saturday.

The results:

Pool-A: Railways 5 (Pardeep Singh 7 & 15, Aditya Singh 10, Shivam Anan 39, Affan Yousuf 43) bt Tamil Nadu 0.

Pool-B: IOC 5 (Roshan Minz 8, Affan Yousuf 10, Talwinder Singh 29, Sumit Kumar 45, Manpreet 59) drew with NCOE (Bhopal) 5 (Sadiq Mohd. 16, Pawan Kumar Jaat 23 & 52, Faraz Md. 28, Parmod 43).

Points table:

Team, played, won, draw, lost, points:

Pool-A: Railways, 4, 3, 1, 0, 10; Army 4, 2, 2, 0, 8; BPCL 4, 1, 1, 2, 4; TN 4, 1, 0,3, 3; Maharashtra 4, 1, 0, 3, 3.
