51st Sir Churachand Football
New CC Meet champ imminent:
Imphal, Dec 7: The 51st Sir Churachand Singh KCSI CBE Memorial Football tournament is certain to herald a new champion as AMOFA, Moirang, take on NISA, Thangmeiband, in the final on December 9 (Sunday) at 1 pm at the Khuman Lampak Main Stadium.
Neither AMOFA nor NISA have won the competition though the latter had reached the final twice.
In the second semi-final on Friday, AMOFA upset the previous edition's champion SSU, Singjamei, by the odd goal in three but the score line in no way reflect the Moirang side's dominance who could have won by a bigger margin had the forwards converted chances that came their way.
While the AMOFA mid-fielders worked like a well-oiled machine and constantly fed the frontline players with defence splitting passes, SSU seldom showed any sign of a champion side with players lacking energy compared to enthusiastic approach of their opponents.
Inspite of territorial advantage, AMOFA managed to open its score account late in the first half when Stephen Hmar and L Ratan swiftly exchanged passes near the top of the SSU penalty zone.
Ratan swerved around a rival defender to put the ball into the crowded SSU goal area from near the touchline and found Stephen who blasted home from close range past a hapless SSU custodian in the first half added period.
The goal spurred the Moirang side as they came out from the break with renewed vigour and stormed the SSU goal consequently resulting in Th Joychandra scoring his seventh goal of the tournament of a Stephen Hmar essay in the 56th.Even though AMOFA sustained its pressure against the opponents and seem to increase the score lack of finishing touch at vital moment rendered the mid-fielders' hard work to nought.
At the fag end of the match SSU did foray into the Moirang goal but found the AMOFA custodian a hard nut to crack.
The SSU consolation goal eventually came two minutes into added period when the ball crossed the AMOFA goal-line from a goalmouth scramble with N Jimmy having the final touch.
Meanwhile, the tournament organiser AMFA has fixed ticket rate for the summit clash at Rs 100 for the VIP gallery and Rs 20 for ordinary stand with advance booking counter to be opened at Mapal Kangjeibung from tomorrow morning onwards.

51st Sir Churachand Football
NISA nail Manipur Police, enter CC Meet final:
Imphal, Dec 6: Resurgent Thangmeiband side NISA's sojourn in the ongoing 51st Sir Churachand Singh KCSI CBE Memorial Football Tournament continues as the former finalists stunned the competition's multiple time winners Manipur Police Sports Club (MPSC) after an absorbing 5-4 win via the tie-breaker here on Thursday.
In the first semi-final played at Khuman Lampak Main Stadium, NISA, whose maiden entry to the final was in 1969 and repeated the feat again in 1994, were the better side of the day particularly after the lemon break.
With normal time ending in a 1-1 draw, penalty shoot-out was applied to decide the winner wherein NISA ultimately emerged victors when S Manimohan, M Abhiraj, W Ngamba and K Ajitkumar scored from the spot while Charan Rai shot wide.
For the police side, N Maimu, I Nilakumar and Ng Jenendra were successful as O Somorendro and Duanmei Kamson's shots ballooned over the crosspiece.
Another Story:
Earlier in the match, NISA set the tempo when M Abhiraj curled in from about 20 yards only three minutes into the game.
The match official awarded the free kick after MPSC's K Premkumar handled the ball in trying to defend a Charan Rai salvo.
The police side also responded in similar fashion as Abhiraj was ruled to have handled the ball in checking Nilakumar at the edge of the penalty box in the 19th minute.
The resultant free kick executed by Ksh Kanta left the NISA custodian gaping.
With no change in the scoresheet in the opening session which was marked by scrappy display from the first semi-finalists, the second half began with both sides looking for goals that never were to be.
The match was marred by numerous stoppages with the medical team being the busiest of all even as three MPSC players were yellow carded for unsporting conduct.
Even though NISA was the dominant side after the change of ends, lack of cohesion among their frontline players wasted some good scoring chances provided by the schemers.
For MPSC, their lethal striker I Nilakumar, who is the joint top scorer along with AMOFA's Th Joychandra on six each, was ineffective as NISA's wily Kh Ratan shadowed the police striker throughout the match.
MPSC, apart from lifting the coveted trophy four times, including a joint winner, had entered the summit round for a record nine times.
In the final scheduled to be played on December 9, NISA will face the winner of tomorrow's (Friday) second semi-final between AMOFA, Moirang, and SSU, Singjamei.
For the record, reigning champions SSU had won the title on four occasions in six entries to the final.
AMOFA are yet to reach the final.

A Stephen Hmar pass resulted in Th Joychandra striking home in the 38th minute before the scorer (Joychandra) increased the lead to 2-0 tapping in a sloppy clearance from the Green Valley custodian in the 48th.

SSU in 51st CC Meet semi-finals:
Imphal, Dec 3: G Ninja Kabui's late strike guaranteed SSU, Singjamei a place in the semi -finals of the 51st CC Meet football tournament as NEROCA, Laipham Khunou overwhelmed Assam's Green Valley 4-2 in another quarter-final group tie here on Monday.
Needing an outright win to seal the last four berth against USA, Khurai, the reigning champions SSU had their own share of anxious moments particularly in first half before Ninja Kabui scored the match winner six minutes from the final whistle to top Group S on six points as SSU had also defeated City Club, Heirok 3-0 earlier in the competition.
The NEROCA versus Green Valley game began with the Assam side taking the lead off an Abhijit Nandy header in the eighth minute which was neutralised by S Thomas in the 22nd minute.
NEROCA struck two minutes later when Nabachandra curled in from near the top of the rivals' penalty area before Ksh Malemnganba extended the lead to 3-1 in the 56th.While H Chakravarti netted the fourth NEROCA goal in the 67th, Apurva Phukan managed to pull back one for Green Valley seconds from end of normal time.
Green Valley face an uphill task against AMOFA in their next Group R quarter-final match as the Moirang side would be equally determined to advance having defeated NEROCA by a solitary goal.

SSU, AMOFA win in CC Meet QF rounds:
Imphal, Dec 1: Defending champions SSU began their quarter-final league round campaign of the 51st CC Meet with a convincing victory over City Club Heirok on Saturday.
At Mapal Kangjeibung here, both SSU (Singjamei) and City Club (Heirok) made cautious starts to the match.
However, as the match progressed, the defending champions slowly got control of the match.
Yet, despite some clear chances to take lead, the SSU strikers floundered and failed to convert a single shot.
In the second half, the Singjamei side was clearly dominating in the mid-field.
Eventually David Kamson headed the ball into the rival net off a fine cross by Kh Oken from the left flank in the 70th minute.
Ten minutes later, Kh Oken set up another for N Dhananjoy who gave SSU a comfortable 2-0 lead.
For the greater part of the second half, the City Club players were contained in their own half.
Their rare forays into the rival half could not make any serious threat to the SSU custodian.
The match was sealed in the 83rd minute with a powerful shot from David Kamson for a 3-0 victory.
Earlier, AMOFA (Moirang) edged past NEROCA (Sangakpham) by a solitary goal via a penalty kick.
In the 12th minute, AMOFA was awarded a penalty kick after S Thomas handled the ball in the penalty area.
Th Joychandra made no mistake to convert it.
NEROCA got a fine chance to equalise the slender lead from a penalty kick awarded in their favour in the 52nd minute, but the Moirang goalkeeper K Premananda came up with a brilliant save to deny L Nabachandra an equaliser for the Sangakpham side.
Despite repeated attempts by NEROCA strikers to neutralise the lead, all their efforts proved futile.
AMOFA collected full three points in their first match of the quarter-final league round.
