Imphal, August 09 2016:
Eastern
Sporting Union (ESU),
Wangkhei booked a berth for
the Women National League,
2016 which will be held from
this year under the auspices of
All India Football Federation.
ESU booked the berth af-
ter beating Manipur Police
Sports Club (MPSC) 1-0 in
the second leg of the Pre-
Qualifying Round organised
by the All Manipur Football
Association (AMFA), today
at Artificial Turf ground,

Since the match was a
decisive one for ESU, they
left no chance to ensure that
they make the cut for the
National league.
The first half of the match
ended in a goalless draw.
However, ESU took the lead
after Kashmina's header off a
cross from M Mandakini
from the left flank found the
target in the 64th minute.
Although MPSC strikers
made aggressive attempts to
equalise, ESU defenders
struck a tough defence line
till the end of the match.
