The Mumbai School Sports Association (MSSA) team are becoming an embarrassment for the city's hockey enthusiasts. The MSSA outfit suffered humiliating defeats in their first three Group-A matches of the Khelo India Women's Hockey League 2021 (under-21), at the Major Dhyan Chand Stadium, Delhi.

The MSSA team, coached by Fr Jude Rodrigues, according to the match scoresheet on the official Hockey India website, conceded 38 goals without any to their name. A demoralised MSSA side conceded a dozen goals and succumbed to a 0-12 defeat against Raja Karan Hockey Academy, Haryana on Friday.

Earlier, Naval Tata Hockey Performance Centre, Odisha outplayed MSSA by 11-0 on Thursday. In the opening match on Wednesday, Khalsa Hockey Academy, Amritsar proved far too strong and inflicted a crushing 15-0 defeat on the hapless MSSA team.

The Mumbai team earns a much-needed rest on Saturday, but could encounter more misery. After that, they meet Him Academy, Himachal Pradesh on Sunday, Sports Authority of India ‘B' on Monday and Hockey India Junior Women's Team on Tuesday.
