Imphal, December 11:
Defeating their rivals in contrasting styles, YWC Thambalkhong and NESU Khurai have stormed into the quarter finals round of the 50th edition of Sir Churachand Singh Memorial Invitational Football Tournament Meet being held at Mapal Kangjeibung.
MPSC, TRUGPU, NISA, ESU and Neroca have already entered the quarterfinals.
In their last group match today, YWC hammered KYC CCpur 5-0.Kh Ronald scored twice in addition to one each by L Nabachandra, N Ibotombi and T Dhiren to give YWC an easy win over their Churachandpur rivals.
In the group D encounter between NESU Khurai and KFC Kakching, the Kakching side squandered away a fair chance of entering the quarter final round, going down to NESU 2-1 today at Mapal Kangjeibung.
A draw would have ensured them a spot in the quarter-final round.
On the other hand, two second-half goals by G Singba Kabui and Saratchandra gave three crucial points to book their place in the quarter final round.
A late consolation goal in the additional time (91st minute) by Thangminlen was not enough to save the Kakching team from early exit.
