Bangladesh Ansar emerged champions in the Exim Bank 21st National Women’s Handball Championship with a 22-15 win over Bangladesh Jute Mills Corporation (BJMC) in the final at the Handball Sta-dium yesterday.
It was a hattrick title for Bangladesh Ansar, who have now won the championship 15 times since the championship began in 1983.
Five-time champions BJMC, who returned to the championship after a two-and-a-half year gap, reached the final and offered good fight against their mighty opponents to end the first half 9-5, but their effort was not enough to tame Ansar, who scored 12 goals in the second half to finish the game 22-15.
State minister for youth and sports Ahad Ali Sarker distributed prizes among the winners while BHF president AKM Nurul Fazal Bulbul, Exim Bank managing
director Das Dev Prasad and BHF general secretary Asaduzzaman Kohinoor were present.
