Shillong Women’s League: Laitkor & PFR Academy qualify for semifinals

Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaJuly 7, 2023

Laitkor SC and PFR Football Academy both qualified for the semifinals from Group A of the Shillong Sports Association’s Women’s League after they won their respective matches at Third Ground, Polo on Thursday. 

PFR first blanked Kick Start Football Coaching Centre 2-0 before Laitkor sailed to a big 6-0 victory against Lawei Smit SC. By dint of these results, both Laitkor and PFR have a full 12 points from four outings, with Laitkor ahead on goal difference (+35 to +28). The top two teams from each group will make it to the semis. 

Ridalin Suting (22′) and Elviorika Sohkhlet (27′) scored in what could be considered a derby game between two academies but it was a good contest, even if Kick Start were still left looking for a goal – they have been unable to score in all three of their matches.

Later on, Nisilia Majaw (3′, 20′, 46′) registered another hat-trick in what was one more dominant performance by Laitkor. Her first goal was a terrific left-footed hook that took everyone by surprise, the second was a penalty conversion and the third, in the second half, was another stunner. 

Iaraplang Nongrum (7′), Iawanlang Nongbet (36′) and Solina Jaba (56′) provided the other goals for Laitkor. 

Two Group B are schedule for today: Synroplang 77 versus Lumparing SC in the first encounter at 2:30pm, followed by Maw U-Tieng against Mawlai SC at 4:15pm.
