Imphal, September 13 2011:
Defending champion TRAU, Kwakeithel missed yet another chance to close in on 6th Manipur State League football tournament table toppers NISA, following a goalless draw against YWC, Thambalkhong at Khuman Lampak Main stadium today.
In the day's other match, MPSC beat USA, Khurai by a solitary goal to occupy the second spot on 10 points, same as TRAU but with a better goal average.
Henry KK scored the all important police goal in the 24th minute of the match, marred by four yellow card bookings.
USA, meanwhile dropped to eighth in the 10 team competition.
a win for TRAU would have firmly propped up the Kwakeithel side to second place but missing scoring opportunities against YWC cost the defending champions dearly for NISA (16 points) need only a win from its three remaining ties to regain the title.
Today's goalless encounter was TRAU's fourth draw of the competition.
