Imphal, June 20 2017:
In the opening match of the the 18th S Birendra Singh Memorial Football League organised under the aegis of the Imphal West District Football Association, CHIKL, Lilong started their title campaign with a win over YWC, Malom by a margin of 2�1 .
The seven-team super division league is held at the SKYC Awang Sekmai Ground.
CHIKL opened their account when L Premjit broke through the YWC defence successfully when it was 25 minutes into the first half.
YWC came back in style when 12 minutes later, K Tomba made no mistake in turning an opportunity into a goal and score a goal.
By first half, the two teams played equally well and this was reflected in the scoreline.
Overall the game was a balanced match but the Lilong Chajing team had a certain edge over its opponent.
Half an hour before regulation time, L Premjit struck again and produced a result similar to the first instance.
In one of the attacks, he left the Malom goalkeeper helpless with a winning kick.
Though they fought fairly good, the Malom team could not produce an equaliser again.
When the whistle blew it was celebration time for Lilong Chajing.
The score was 2�1 in their favour.
