Sir Churachand Football Meet

City Club advance to CC Meet quarters:

Imphal, Nov 26: Although held by RACC Churachandpur to a goalless draw, City Club Heirok advanced to the quater-final round of the 51st CC Meet Football Tournament.

The Heirok club is the second team after ESU Wangkhei to book their place in the quater-final round of the presitgious tournament.

At Mapal Kangjeibung today, City Club was held by RACC for a goalless draw.

Yet, the Heirok team topped Group A with just one point ahead of YOSC Khurai.

Earlier in the day, MBSU Wahengbam Leikai registered a convincing victory over KRYPSA, Naoremthong.

In the Group H match today, O Inaocha opened MBSU goal account in the 20th minute after a neat interplay with teammate W Umakanta.

However, the lead was neutralised by S Kishan of KRYPSA in the 32nd minute taking advantage of a measured cross by L Henry from right flank.

In the second half, the Wahengbam Leikai side made optimum use of their greater ball possesion.

Their effort was paid off in the 77th minute when Boithang Haokip regained their lead.

Boithang Haokip sealed the match for a 3-1 victory in the 83rd minute.

With four points, three clear of second placed NEROCA, MBSU has a fair chance of advancing to quarter-finals although NEROCA and KRYPSA has a match in hand.
