Kabaddi stars join elite stage
FOR newcomers to any sport the opening weeks of training are usually spent mastering the basic skills and technique needed to perform at a novice standard. But for the Servicewomen who helped form the first-ever England ladies kabaddi team there have been no such luxuries. Just weeks after signing-up for the all-action discipline, the proud personnel faced a baptism of fire against one of the sport’s heavyweight countries at the international championships in Italy. Although the team tasted defeat in its series with Japan, the performances on court suggested kabaddi has a bright future within the Army’s female ranks. |
