Nov 7: The 56th edition of the Bordoloi Trophy will get underway with a match between Green Valley Sports Club and SAISC at Nehru Stadium at Guwahati on Thursday (Nov 8).
The Gauhati Sports Association (GSA), which is celebrating its golden jubilee year, has decided to revive the Bordoloi Trophy. As part of its plans, the GSA has invited two foreign teams -- Port Authority of Thailand and Abahani Limited, Bangladesh -- to add vigour to the prestigious tournament, which, many believe, is losing its prestige among the people.
The two teams will be seen in action along with other leading clubs of the country, including Vasco Sports Club, Goa, and other outfits from the North-east.
GSA will also felicitate all former presidents and secretaries along with a few veteran players, organizers and officials during the inaugural function tomorrow.
Dignitaries to be felicitated during the inaugural function are: Niloy Dutta and Rana Goswami (former presidents); Chitta Ranjan Bhowmick, Prasanna Kalita, Munin Nabis and Dipak Hazarika (former secretaries); Badal Thakur (cricket), Ananda Laskar (football), Pulin Das (sports scribe), NN Singh (soccer referee), Dipu Choudhury (commentator), Zakir Ahmed (sports organizer), Binoy Medhi (volleyball), Bijoy Hazarika (table tennis), Tarani Barman (sports photographer), Ranjit Singh (hockey), Tayabun Nessa (athletics), Mukut Medhi (basketball) and Dipankar Bhattacharjee (badminton).
