Sir Churachand Football Tournament

USA, NEROCA in 51st CC Meet Quarter-finals:

Imphal, Nov 29: USA, Khurai and NEROCA, Laipham Khunou, completed the quarter final line-up of the 51st CC Meet football tournament at Mapal Kangjeibung here.

In all eight teams have advanced to the last eight stage where they will be joined by reigning champion SSU (Singjamei), runners-up Nagaland Police (NP) and Assam's Green Valley.

The last league phase matches played today ended with USA defeating YAC, Yaiskul 3-1 to advance as Group G topper while NEROCA crushed KRYP-SA, Naoremthong, by half a dozen goals without reply.

With group G tantalisingly poised after TRAU's 2-0 win over the Yaiskul side and 0-0 draw with USA earlier in the competition, USA needed an outright win with no less than two goals difference which they eventually acheived.

After S Surchandra provided the breakthrough in the 43rd minute and Y Hemanta's goal four minutes later seem to have cleared USA's passage into the quarter finals, YAC's Somatai Shaiza delayed the rivals' celebration with a 62nd minute goal.

However, M Ibochouba sealed USA's place four minutes from time.

on the otherhand, NEROCA endured no tension against KRYPSA as the former frequently breached the rivals' defenceline who are yet to score a point in the competition.

NEROCA, however, had to beat their last Group H opponent with a huge margin as the other team in the cluster MBSU had held NEROCA 1-1 and defeated KRYPSA 3-1.
Ostensibly aware of the group's arithmetic, NEROCA began on an attacking mode and opened the score only three minutes into the game through T Ajitkumar before goals from Ksh Malemnganba (6th), H Chakravarti (9th) and L Nabachandra (10th) cushioned the lead to 4-0. H Romen added to the Naoremthong misery with a 30th minute goal before Malemnganba found his second of the match two minutes later to take the match KRYPSA's reach.

In quarter-final matches tomorrow, NP will face YWC at 12.05 pm while NISA play ESU at 1.45 pm.

In the last Group E match, AMOFA struck late in the first half to open the account when Daniel L Hmar tapped home in the 40th minute.

The Moirang side pumped in three more goals after the change of ends through Stephen Hmar (47th) and Joychandra's brace (69th, 75th) before Alpha Tongsin netted the KFC consolation goal in the injury time.

AMOFA had defeated the group's third team DM Rao, Sekmai 2-0 with KFC edging past the Sekmai side 2-1 in their earlier matches.

In the MPSC versus Lenlai Club match later in the day, Ch Ojit took the lead for the police side with a 49th minute opener before his second in the match coming 77 minutes into play after N Maimu Meitei had converted a penalty award in the 72nd minute to extend the lead.

Lalminthang headed in Lenlai's only goal of the match five minutes from time.

MPSC topped Group F by virtue of its 3-1 win over PYC, Phoudel earlier in the competition.

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.
