Tarun Sangha hold
Mughals New Delhi, December 24 The match was played on a wet ground, following rains, and the slushy ground conditions made ball control difficult. There were very few meaningful moves, and the contest, as expected, ended in a goalless deadlock. Mughals have collected 10 points from six matches while Tarun Sangha have earned eight points from six matches. Mughals take on Hindustan in their next match while Tarun Sangha will meet Simla Youngs in their last league match. Earlier, defending champions Hindustan Club got walkover from Frontiers Club, who could not field a full team due to “shortage” of players. Hindustan have collected 16 points from six matches to top the group while Frontiers Club have not yet opened their account after six matches. Frontiers play their last match against Delhi Police. Wednesday’s fixtures: New Delhi Heroes vs B B Stars (1.30 pm); City Club vs Indian Air Force (New Delhi) (3 pm)—Nehru Stadium. |
