Imphal, April 01 2016 :
NEROCA FC which is representing Manipur will clash with Dempo Sports Club, Goa in the ongoing I-League Second Division, organised by the All India Football Federation (AIFF) tomorrow at Main Stadium, Khuman Lampak which is also the home ground of NEROCA FC.
The match will kick off at 2 pm tomorrow.
Six teams are participating in the final round of I-League 2nd division which is played on a home and away basis.
NEROCA FC have drawn their first encounter with Minerva FC, Chandigarh on March 29 and must try hard to grab full points against their more fancied opponent, whose line-up includes two foreigners and four players who have the experience of playing in I-League before.
Participating at the pre-match discussion programme at Hotel Classic Grande today, NEROCA FC manager Th Arunkumar said that his team is confident of a win against Dempo SC and also rued over the fact that NEROCA FC have disappointed the home fans in their previous match against Minerva FC, Chandigarh and hopes to turn the tide around this time against Dempo SC.
Dempo SC manager Shailesh Karkera said that like their previous match against Gangtok Himala-yan Sporting Club on March 26, which they managed to win, they will go all out for a win against the host team to inch closer towards their goal of qualifying for I-League.
