Odisha thrashed Manipur 8-1 in the second semifinals today to set up a summit clash meeting against Jharkhand in the 3rd Hockey India Sub-Junior Men National Championship (East Zone) here.
For Odisha, Amit Chirmako scored four goals in the 8th, 19th, 48th and 52nd minutes. The other scorers were Ashwin Kujur (33rd, 69th), Suman Beck (65th) and Suraj Minz (66th).
Odisha looked the better-drilled outfit with a lot of character and composure while Manipur committed far too many errors that put them on the defensive for most part of the match.
Jharkhand will play Odisha in the women's final.
Both the finals will be played tomorrow.
