Imphal, September 14:
Defeating ESU, Wangkhei in three out of three matches NYTHC, Okram Chuthek wrested the senior division title of the Ksh Ibeyaima Women's Football League 2004 organized by Imphal East DFA.
In the last match of the two team competition at Andro Kangjeibung today, the Okram Chuthek girls pumped in three goals, including a brace from Ng Bala, with ESU managing to squeeze in one.
A six minute header by Bala off a W Sachirani cross opened the score account for the Okram Chuthek side before India under-19 captain S Ibeyaima levelled for the Wangkhei girls converting a penalty award in the 18th minute of the 60 minute clash.
The 1-1 deadlock was broken by Bala again whose brilliant run from near the centre outwitted both the ESU 'keeper and a defender to slot home and regain the lead for NYTHC in the 43rd minute.
ESU conceded the third goal to the rival when defender A Romi deflected an attempted clearance, following a Dhanapati long ranger, into her own net in added period.
NYTHC had won the earlier two ties at 1-0 and 3-0 score margins respectively.
