Manipur boys run riot
Manipur’s North Eastern English School underlined their title credentials, thrashing Tyndale Bisco School of Srinagar 11-0 on the third day of the 53rd Subroto Cup football tournament in New Delhi on Wednesday. This was their second big win after blanking Bhonsala Military School 8-0 in their opening encounter.

Within the first five minutes of the game, the Manipur team were leading 3-0 with goals from Mohammed Nasir, S. Akash and T. Langakham. However, the North Eastern English School didn’t allow their opponents any leeway and continued to dominate with goals at regular intervals.
