It was a nostalgic evening as legends of Indian hockey gathered to felicitate Dronacharya Awardees Marzban Patel fondly known as 'Bawa' (2019) and Clarence Lobo (2018) at St Andrews turf in Bandra on Saturday.

Bawa, a mentor and coach of the young Bombay Republicans players, was quite emotional. "Getting felicitated by my own club is bigger than receiving the award from the President of India. This means much more to me," he said, remembering Balram Krishan Mohite who founded the Bombay Republicans club.
