Rise From The Ashes

Losing by 25-0, 17-0 is not something which any team would like to add to their record books. Score line as pathetic as this is enough to annihilate any team’s dreams and hopes. But there are some who learn from their mistakes and resort to a retribution path against its own performance, and this feeling of vengeance helps them achieving new heights.

Ask the Orissa women’s football squad and they would tell how true it is. Orissa, which made her debut at the 1993 National Women’s Football Championship, were brutalized and embarrassed by their fellow states. It seemed as though it was the end of the road for them.  But adversity brought the best out of them and with their steep fortitude, they hit back with pomp and glory. The 2011 edition of the Senior National Women's Football Championship saw Orissa score 48 goals and conceding just one.
