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.

Sikkim Governor’s Gold Cup

NRT Nepal lift title:

Nov 7: NRT, Nepal, lifted the coveted All India Governor's Gold Cup, beating arch rivals Three Star, Nepal, 2-1 at the Paljor stadium at Gangtok today.
This was the fifth time a Nepal team had won the Governor's Gold Cup.
Playing before a capacity crowd, NRT drew the first blood in the 19th minute with a close range shot from striker Nirajan Paymajhi.
Three Star wasted a golden opportunity to equalise in the 31st minute when Lok Bahadur Gurung blasted a penalty kick into the stand.
However, Jumanu Rai compensated for his teammate's blunder with a wonderful equaliser. Drifting down the right box, Rai fired a rasping drive that left the NRT goalie clueless. It was his fifth goal in the tournament.
Three Star were again taken aback by an NRT strike early in the second half. The entire defence stood rooted as NRT defender Bal Gopal Shaukhal connected a corner that crashed into the net in the
59th minute.
This proved to be the winning goal for NRT, who pocketed a cash prize of Rs 1.5 lakh along with the championship trophy, which was presented by Chief Minister Pawan Chamling.
NRT midfielder Basanta Gauchan took the Most Valuable Player of the tournament award, while his team-mate and star striker Anil Gurung was adjudged the man of the match.
Punjab Police, which lost in the semi-finals, was adjudged the most disciplined team of the tournament.
