South Korea regained the women’s Junior Asia Cup when they beat China 2-0 in the final at the Seremban II Hockey Stadium here yesterday.
The Koreans, winners in 1992, 1996 and 2000, had lost their grip on the Cup to the Chinese in 2004.
Yesterday, they exacted revenge with an easy win. Both the Korean goals came in the second half through Lee Soo-kyung (50th) and skipper Han Tae-jeon (59th).
The tournament offered three places to the women’s Junior World Cup Finals, which will be held in Boston next year. India claim the third spot to the Finals with a 3-1 victory over Japan 3-1 in a playoff for third place.
The Indians scored their goals through Soundrya Yendala, Vandana Katanya and Anuradha Dewi while Japan’s replied through Minori Yoshida.
The Indians were also placed third in the previous tournament. In the playoff for fifth place, Malaysia beat Singapore 4-0.
