Quetta down Peshawar in thrill-packed Buzkashi clash




PESHAWAR: Three timely goals by Salam Behalwan steered Quetta to beat young Peshawar side by 9-6 in the thrill-packed Buzkashi match played here at Karnal Sher Shaheed Stadium.

NWFP Minister for Sports Syed Aqil Shah was the chief guest on this occasion and witnessed the matchless skills of the players on their horseback.

Secretary of the Pakistan Buzkashi Federation Zahir Hussain Sarwari, vice president Dr Abdul Baqi and other office-bearers of the federation were also present on the occasion amid a large number of spectators.

The skills of the riders and horses enthralled the spectators who responded with cheers.

The two famous Buzkashi players, Salam Behalwan and Muhammad Jan Behalwan, were the pick of the pack, which opened the account for Quetta team when they took the calf from the circle time and again and dropped after a busted ride of 200 yards. Both scored three individual goals each for Quetta in the first 10th minutes.

Peshawar, led by young strikers comprising Musa Jan, Shamas and Haji Abdullah reduced the margin in the next five minutes by scoring two goals each to make the tally 6-4.

Later, for Peshawar Najmuddin, who also delighted the spectators with his skilled riding, scored two quick goals to make the tally 9-6. In the dying moments both teams tried hard but mostly both defended the circle specified for the goal.
