Imphal, December 14 2009:
TRAU Kwakeithel have completed the semi-final line up of the prestigious CC Meet football tournament.
The last quarter-final match of the 53rd CC Meet played at Mapal Kangjeibung today was a clash of two former champions.
ESU Wangkhei played some positive football but TRAU played with better coordination.
Just one minute before half-time, S Heorjit broke the deadlock in favour of TRAU.
The second half saw a more resilient Wangkhei side and they were rewarded with a penalty kick 15 minutes into the second half.
But H Dorendro's spot kick could not beat N Raju, the rival keeper.
Thirteen minutes later, S Herojit slotted home another goal and it was enough for the Kwakeithel side to advance into the semi-finals While TRAU have lifted the CC Meet cup five times, latest being 2004, ESU Wangkhei won the tournament in 1992 and 2002 .
KSC Lambulane will take on TRUGPU Nambol in the first semi-final on December 16 as TRAU face off NEROCA in the second semi-final next day.
