New Delhi: She was very keen to take care of any need of the players in the stadium. She was standing ready to run fast and collect the balls that spiral out of the boundary. She was at Major Dhayan Chand National Stadium in Delhi on October 8, where the Women’s Hockey match was in progress. The gallery cheered and clapped as the Indian team mounted a wave of attacks against the Trinidad team.
The score was three-zero in India’s favour. Suddenly the referee blew the whistle. It was against the Trinidad team. India had to take the ball from the outer-line of the ground. The ball was with a Trinidad player. The woman in red jersey threw the ball to a volunteer standing outside the line.
Ahh…it hit her eyes! Still she did not allow the ball to slip from her and got it even as she was fainting. The girl, in red-white costume, was writhing in pain and crying aloud. Now one could hear the referee’s whistle to continue the game. The injury of a girl volunteer is not a sufficient reason for the game to stop. The out-standing volunteer was taken out of the stadium by other volunteer. Let the game continue!
