Imphal, December 15 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.
