Manipur retain Sr National Womens' Football title

Imphal, Mar 25 (PTI) Hosts Manipur rode on Y Kamala's strike to pip Orissa 1-0 and retain the title in the 18th Senior National Womens' Football tournament at Khuman Lampak Main Stadium here today.

With Orissa eves giving a stiff fight, the reigning champions could not take a lead in the first 45 minutes as the goalless stalemate prevailed in the first-half.

The Manipur side however regrouped after the changeover and Kamala banged in the match-winner eight minutes after the break to settle the issue.

Orissa women tried their best to equalise but could not make use of their opportunities as Manipur clinched the title.
