Quotes
Navneet Kaur
Player of the Tournament and team captain of SG Pipers
“We got a lot of chances and created several opportunities in the first half. We did not want to give up till the last minute. We had already scored late goals like this during the season. The team believed that if we kept putting in effort and working hard till the last minute, we would get the goal. We had faith and trust in each other and believed that we would definitely score.”

“Last year, we felt bad about finishing last. But as soon as that season ended, we started planning for the next year. We wanted a better team, more options and the right changes. I think that planning showed in the way we performed this season.”
