BENGALURU: The Department of Youth Services and Sports (DYES) hockey team, which comprises the cream of Karnataka’s talent, played its last competitive match under the aegis of Hockey Karnataka (HK) exactly a year ago, winning the HK junior men’s (U-19) championship.
The team continued to train at the Hockey stadium after the event, the players even turned out for other teams — state, university or district. But DYES did not find an opportunity thereafter to come together as a unit to play in a HK tournament thanks to a barren calendar.
