Sagarbhanga boys on the rampage

NEW DELHI, October 1: It wasn't that Bishorjit Singh could have made a difference for his side - KT High School, Bishnupur from Manipur.
But just that after packing off their group competitors rather easily - 4-1, 8-2, 5-1, the agony of a 9-0 washout by the Sagarbhanga High School, Durgapur, West Bengal in the Subroto Cup quarterfinal was a bit too much to take for the lanky goalkeeper.
Especially when he had even braved a running temperature in a bid to save his side from further misery.
The Sagarbhanga boys - all of whom are being groomed at the Mohun Bagan Academy and were part of the U-15 Bagan squad that took part in the Manchester United Cup last year - hardly gave the Manipur outfit a chance to put a mark on board. Malswan Zwala started the romp in the third minute itself.
It was serene for the next half an hour, but after Ram Malik headed home a cross from Prasenjit Das, the winners came into their own.
Result: SHS, WB 9 (Malswan Zwala 3, 35, 40, 55, Ram Malik 30, 39, Dipendu Dware 32, 37, Sanjoy Bane 59) - KTH, Manipur 0.
