THE CHAMPIONS TROPHY

proved unassailable despite Pargat Singh's fine effort in reducing the advantage. This was a victory for Pakistan to savour. On the same premises about a year earlier Pakistan had lost 5-2 to India in the South Asia Federation Games final . And so. Pakistan'.s campaign in Madras ended in the same way as it had begun, with a match against Holland. The stakes were high and the question inevitably asked was whether Pakistan. having come so far, could once more thrive on the element of the unexpected? The answer could have been in the affirmative against any other side but the Dutch who had played superb hockey throughout the tournament and fully deserved the triumph which was only their third in the series. The previous successes were achieved in 1981 at Karachi and 1982 in Amsterdam. It was a commendable effort on the part of Pakistan to have ·reduced a 3-0 lead to 3-2 but as far as Holland was concerned it was a case of so far and no further. The spiritless Indian team had no answer to Germany's onslaught. A visitor in the stands asked why the crowd watching India was so poor. 'They do not back losers,' was the prompt answer. Spain reserved its best performance in beating Australia decisively. Had the Spaniards lost the play-off they would have missed the bus for the next Champions Trophy at Adelaide. As the home side Australia had no cause for worry and no doubt there will soon be a revival from Down Under. Final positions: 1. Holland; 2, Pakistan; 3. Germany; 4. India; 5, Spain; 6. Australia.

JUNIOR WORLD CUP

Pakistan won the inaugural Junior World Cup tournament at Versailles in 1979, but on the next three occasions there was only the bronze medal to take home. When the fifth event in the series was held at Terrassa. Spain in 1993. Pakistan seemed likely to win it under its manager Samiullah, but Germany won again to make it four in a row and Pakistan was left with the silver medal. Alain Danet, one of the pillars of both the FIH and the European Hockey Federation, welcomed the twelve teams at Versailles at the start of the first tournament. The Pakistan team, managed by Tariq Aziz and coached by Jahangir Butt, had a wealth of rising young talent. including Manzoor Hussain the captain and Kalimullah. Pakistan swept through the five pool matches with convincing victories. including a 4-1 win over West Germany, and finished on top of pool B with a total of twenty-three goals scored and two conceded. West Germany was second. At the other end of the scale, Holland and Malaysia shared top place with the Dutch taking precedence on goal difference. Holland went down 3-1 to Germany in the semi-finals and Pakistan had little difficulty beating the Malaysians 4-2. In the final. Pakistan did no more than confirm the superiority that had been established over the

GOING FOR GOLD

Australia swept past Pakistan in the semi-finals with a 4-1 win and West Germany prevailed over Malaysia by 4-2. In the play-off for the bronze medal, Pakistan tore the Malaysian defence apart for a 10-0 victory, but it was all too late. The third Junior World Cup in 1985 moved to Vancouver, one of the most beautiful spots in British Columbia where the tournament was played under cover, but not many people turned out to support Canada. After a string of defeats sent the host country crashing down to last place but one in pool B, Malaysia also took a back seat and the familiar pattern of Holland, Germany, Pakistan and Australia came to the surface for the semi-final round. Pakistan lost 4 -2 to Germany despite having levelled the score at 1-1 through Ajmal Khan . The Germans then built a commanding lead, which was reduced in the last couple of minutes by Abdul Rashid. Holland prevailed over Australia to win 4-3 but lost 4-1 to Germany in the final. For Pakistan the fun was not yet over. In the play-off for the bronze medal. Iftikhar Ahmed scored all Pakistan's goals in a 4-2 victory over Australia. At half-time, Australia led 2-1. Malaysia took on the running of the fourth Junior World Cup in 1989 and held it at lpoh where South Korea finished among the top four. Two goals by Qamar Ibrahim and one by Tariq Sheikh were not enough for Pakistan who lost 4-3 to Australia in the semi-final. Germany eliminated South Korea with a 6-2 victory. leaving Pakistan to fight out the bronze medal with the Koreans. Pakistan won 6 -2 with Mussadiq Hussain scoring two goals and Anjum Saeed, Khalid Bashir, Shahbaz Ahmed and Tariq Sheikh adding a goal each. Thrills abounded in the final which ended with the scores level at 2 -2 . Germany beat Australia in the penalty stroke barrage by 6 -2. The tournament was made memorable for the astonishing markmanship of Andreas Becker of West Germany and Stephen Davies of Australia. For the fifth Junior World Cup at Terrassa in Spain, the venue for the 1992 Olympic
