Mumbai: Delhi's withdrawal of the overage protest against Chandigarh allowed the latter to qualify for the quarterfinals at the junior National hockey championships for U-17 boys, played at the MHA Mahindra Stadium. Chandigarh ended up topping Group E with six points.

Delhi which had lodged a protest naming seven players as overage, withdrew it officially in writing via their manager.

The medical report has been received and kept in sealed covers, to be opened in case of another protest in the knockouts.
