In the first match of the day, it was the A team from the police club which demolished their B team, excelling in every department of the game.
The goal spree opened as early as the 1st minute when P Priyokumar was bang on target and he followed this up with another in the 7th minute.
S Tarunkumar and N Gunamani then found the target in the 7th and 8th minute to race to a four goal to nil lead.
M Shantikumar of the B team reduced the margin in the 10th minute, but then Ksh Wangamba came into his elements, when he went on a goal scoring spree sounding the board in the 19th, 25th, 45th, 46th, 47th, 49th and 50th minute of the game.
In between P Adeva scored in the 22nd minute while S Rabi featured among the scorers with a goal in the 38th minute to finish the white wash.
Other than M Shantikumar, P Jupitor and L Punachandra scored in the 44th and 54th minute for the B team to end up losing 3 goals to 13 .
In the second match of the day, it was Henjunaha, Lairikyengbam Leikai, all the way, scoring five goals and conceding none against a hapless SYUC, Uchekon.
Ph Amarjit led the charge with two goals in the 35th and 50th minute.
He was ably assisted by goals from Kh Jayanta (a penalty stroke) in the 40th minute followed by N Sanjoymani in the 43rd minute and M Bronson in the 51st minute of the match.
It was a completely one sided match from the first whistle with the players from Henjunaha all over the field and repeatedly sounding the board.
