Hi Goanetters,
Eugene Correia asked me a question and that set me off on the path of some
research. Any one out there who can throw some light on any International Women
Hockey Players of Goan Origin who have represented India or their respective
countries in international hockey tournaments ..
The most famous names that come to mind are that of Dr Otilia Mascarenhas,
Lorraine Fernandes and Selma D'Silva.
Sybil Miranda (was she a D'Mello before?), Elvira Britto, Donita D'Mello, Fiona
Albuquerque, Angela D'Sa have played for India, but i am not too sure if they
have Goan roots.
Any idea if Erminda Menezes (daughter of Sacru Menezes) played for India?
I know there have been loads of Goan who have played for India. What about
other countries?
Any information will be much appreciated.
Jason
