Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaSeptember 1, 2024

The top teams in the Meghalaya Youth League 2024 largely continued on their merry way with victories on Matchday 7 on Saturday. 

Leading the charge in Zone B was West Jaintia District Sports Association, which dominated their U-14 match against East Jaintia District Football Association with a commanding 9-0 victory, highlighted by a hat-trick from Kaisarmi Dkhar. However, the U-16 match saw a surprising turn as East Jaintia held West Jaintia to a 2-2 draw.

West Jaintia still lead both age groups with 15 points in the U-14s and 13 in the U-16s. Second-placed Amlarem Block Sports Association were not involved this weekend. 

The other games in this zone saw Laskein Block Sports Association and Saipung Block Sports Association split points in the U-14 category after a goalless draw before Saipung defeated Laskein 3-0 in the U-16s. 

There was just one match in Zone A, the last of the U-16 group stage where leaders Williamnagar District Sports Association blanked North Garo Hills District Sports Association 3-0. This gives Williamnagar 10 points to NGH’s 5. 

In Zone C, Shillong Sports Association travelled to Sohra Sports Association and won 4-0 (U-14) and 8-0 (U-16) on a terrific day for them. Ri-Bhoi District Sports Association were not in action this weekend but continue to lead the standings against Shillong by 1 point in both categories. 

Zone D was characteristically competitive, with only one match being one-sided where Eastern Border Sports Association won handsomely 6-0 against Mawshynrut Sports Association in the U-16 age group. 

A 1-0 for Pyndengumiong District Sports Association at the hands of Tyrsad Area Sports Association saw both Eastern Border and Tyrsad leapfrog Pyndengumiong in the points table. 

The other U-16 match was a 1-1 draw for leaders Nongstoin District Sports Association against Mawkyrwat District Sports Association. These two sides also drew by the same scoreline in the U-14 category.
