India women’s cricketer Jemimah Rodrigues scored a hat-trick and set up the fourth goal as Uncle’s Kitchen United beat Sea View 4-2 in their Willingdon Catholic Gymkhana (WCG) rink hockey opener on Friday. 

Jemimah scored the first two goals inside 60 seconds and then converted a penalty stroke to complete her hat-trick. Not satisfied with that however, Jemimah then set up teammate Vasudha Shetty with a neat pass in front of goal to complete the tally. Pranali Patil and Resham Mahadik scored a goal each for Sea View. Known for her skills with the cricket bat, Jemimah was equally clinical with the hockey stick, mesmirising the 200-odd spectators in the stands. Olympian Joaquim Carvalho, who is also the sports secretary for WCG, was all praise for her.
