Hi Mr.Pinto, By George, you have touched upon a very controversial subject. The Goa Hockey Association is at the moment the sole property of Mr. Herculano Dourado. He himself is not doing anything for hockey in Goa nor does he allow anybody else to do anything to develop hockey in Goa. The Olympian hockey player from Bombay, Joaquim Carvalho tried his best to revive hockey in Goa last year by holding a couple of exhibition matches by bringing some top class teams from Bombay but he too was rebuffed. This man is very stubborn and selfish. There are only a handful who support him. An overwhelming majority which includes players, coaches, and others wants this man out but he is sticking there like a leech. Can you suggest a solution? Thanks.
