Sumangala wins women's title

NEW DELHI DEC. 29. Tarundeep Rai and Sivanath Nagesia tied for honours in the men's section while Sumangala won the women's title after three days of competition in the National ranking circuit archery championship at the Nehru Stadium here on Monday.

Tarundeep, leader on the first two days, could only take the seventh spot in the third round, for an aggregate of 122 points.

Among the ladies, Sumangala was a comfortable winner with 62 points, well ahead of Reena Kumari at 54 and Dola Banerjee, 52. Today, Debashree Deshmukh defeated Sumangala in the final to eventually finish eighth.

The team honours went to the trio of Tarundeep, Nand Kishore and Harish Kerai. In the final, the team led by Tarundeep defeated the combination comprising Majhi Sawaiyan, Chungda Sherpa and Rajesh Hansdak 244-232.
