51st Sir Churachand Football

AMOFA in CC Meet semi-final:

Imphal, Dec 5: AMOFA, Moirang, grabbed the last semi-final berth of the 51st CC Meet Football tournament after a convincing 3-1 victory over Assam's Green Valley at Khuman Lampak Main Stadium on Wednesday while USA, Khurai, defeated City Club, Heirok, 2-1 in an inconsequential quarter-final league round tie.

In semi-final matches, NISA, Thangmeiband, will take on MPSC on Thursday at 1.30 pm while the Moirang side will face SSU, Singjamei on December 7 (Friday) at the same time.

Having pipped NEROCA, Laipham Khunou, by a solitary goal earlier in the competition, a draw would have cleared AMOFA's path to the last four stage but the Moirang side began the match against Green Valley on a positive note with several inroads early in the game despite the opening goal coming late in the first half.

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.

Stephen Hmar put the score line to an unassailable 3-0 in the 63rd minute while Apurva Phukan found the invited team's consolation goal six minutes later.

Green Valley had also suffered 4-2 loss against NEROCA.

S Ginlemlal Guite of AMOFA and Apurva Phukan of Green Valley were booked in the match for unsporting conduct.

In the USA versus City Club match, the former's RK Adarsh broke the goalless first half stalemate with a 50th minute strike while S Surchand doubled the lead two minutes later.

W Daniel was the architect in both the USA scores.

N Jasobanta bridged the score deficit for the Heirok side.

Sir Churachand Football

SSU in 51st CC Meet semi-finals:

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.

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.

56th Bordoloi Trophy

SAI Sports Club beat Green Valley 1-0 in inaugural match:

Nov 8: SAI Sports Club moved into the next round of the 56th Bordoloi Trophy football tournament defeating Green Valley Sports Club by a solitary goal in the inaugural tie at Guwahati’s Nehru Stadium today (Nov 8).

In a mediocre encounter, the all-important goal of the match was scored by Santosh Chutia in the fourth minute of the game.

Santosh, who missed a golden opportunity in the second minute of the game, headed in corner kick taken by Jibeswar Boro.

In the second half, Green Valley came near to scoring the equaliser but Abhijit Nandy missed the target. Their Nigerian striker Abraham Goodluck created several openings combining with Daithun Basumatary and Saurav Ghosh, but the SAI defence line, led Raju Basumatary, foiled all the Green Valley moves.

Asom Health and Family Welfare Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma inaugurated the tournament and the organizers -- Guwahati Sports Association (GSA) – which is celebrating its golden jubilee year, felicitated veterans like Ananda Lahkar, Badal Thakur, Tayabun Nesa, Mukut Medhi, Binoy Medhi, Dipankar Bhattacharya, Bijoy Hazarika, Ranjit Singh, Zakir Ahmed, Dipu Choudhury, Tarini Barman, Pulin Das and Nripendra Narayan Singha.
