It was clearly a whitewash as YWC-L dominated the game right from the beginning with Ng Pacha opening up the account in the 21st minute.

N Roshan then doubled the lead in the 24th minute with a superbly taken shot while Sadananda made it 3-0 with a drilling shot in the 33rd minute.

YWC-L carried on their raid despite the huge lead and it was in the 40th minute that Shantikumar had the fourth goal for the team.

Sadananda was at it again when he found the net in the 52nd minute to post an unassailable lead past the Malom side while Shivsa fired in the last goal three minutes latter.
