The second semi-final match will be played between TWWC, Thamnapokpi and IGO, Oinam at 1 pm the same day.
YMDO, Heirangoithong defeated IGO, Oinam by 3-1 sets in today's Group A league match.
YMDO started the game on the frontfoot but conceded the third set before returning stronger and sealed the game 25-22, 25-19, 22-25, 25-23.Teams defying match schedule need proper disciplinary action.
Teams staying away from league matches after they stand no chance of qualifying to the next round of competitions is not a new thing in the State but such approach of different teams is a serious setback to tournaments in which they are competing and it defies the very spirit of games and sports.
Sports lovers of the State have started questioning these approach.
If such approach is not rectified or dealt with properly by initiating disciplinary action, the spirit of games and sports will eventually die.
They also want organising bodies and concerned controlling bodies to look into the matter and take appropriate actions in the interest and spirit of true sportsmanship.
