India crowned Asia Cup champions, beat Korea 4-1

India completed a memorable double at the Junior Hockey Asia Cup on Sunday, with both the men's and women's teams lifting the continental titles and securing qualification for their respective Junior World Cups.

The women's team got the day started with a hard-fought 1-0 win over China in the final. Sanika Chandrakant Mane scored the only goal in the 17th minute, producing a clever deflection after finding space inside the Chinese circle.

China enjoyed plenty of possession but struggled to breach India's organised defence. Their best opportunity came from the only penalty corner of the match, but the effort was ruled out after the ball entered the goal above the permitted height. India held firm through a tense second half to retain their title for a third straight edition.
