Abahani do Usha double

Sports Reporter
Abahani spoiled Usha Krira Chakra's chance to finish the Green Delta Premier Hockey League in style after the Sky Blues inflicted a 2-1 defeat on the new champions at tile Maulana Bhashani National Stadium yesterday.
Interestingly, the result ensured that the outgoing champions were the only team in 10-tcam league that had a hundred per cent record against thelropponents.
Abahani finished runners-up one point behind Usha.
With little to play for the final match of the League was a dull affair.
Indian Prakash Chakle put
Abahani ahead in the sixth minute from a field goal and captain Moududur Rahman Shuvo levelled the margin for Usha in the 29th minute withanother field goal.
Veteran Musa Miah, however, with game's third field goal netted thewinnerinthc61st minute.
Though Usha might not have been successful against the Dhanmondi-based club on way to a maiden title, the old-town side established in 1975, can be proud of
the fact they achieved their best success in any competition.
TWo-time runners-up Usha had in the past pushed powerhouses Abahani and Mohammedan in domestic hockey but missed out on glory in tlie latter stages.
The key to Usha's success lay in the recruitment of three Pakistani players including Mohammad Nadeem, the Olympic team captain, and the briUiant tactics of coach Maumunur Rashid.
For Abahani, their only solace was winning the curtain-raiser Club Cup Tournament against arch-rivals Mohammedan, who despite spending hugely on local star players, had a disastrous season.
The Motijheel outfit's title bid suffered because the club could not FROM PAGE 13
attract enough foreign talent.
Usha striker Shuvo was the top scorer with 15 goals in the competition.
The last league match also marked the retirement of national defender Irteza Kader Guddu. The Usha defender had represented the national side during 1993-95.
