Mandeep Antil and skipper Diwakar Ram scored a goal each to hand the India U-21 men's hockey team a 2-1 victory over hosts Australia in the four-nation Australian Youth Olympics Festival (AYOF) at the Olympic Park Hockey Centre, here today.

However, it was a contrasting result for the Indian girls team as it went down 1-3 to Great Britain. The Indian colts, under coach A K Bansal started from where they had left off in Argentina and put the hosts under pressure from the word go.
