West Bengal tops Cluster

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, FEB. 8. West Bengal, CRPF, Assam Rifles and Gujarat moved into the pre-quarterfinals of the 53rd B. N. Mullik memorial all-India Police football tournament here on Tuesday.

West Bengal topped Cluster IV with an all-win record, defeating Tripura 3-0, while Assam Rifles ensured its place in last 16 with a 4-1 verdict over Goa.

It plays lowly Mizoram in its last league match and even a defeat will not hamper its chances.

CRPF maintained its unbeaten record in Cluster III with a solitary goal win over Karnataka. However, Gujarat should count itself lucky after it qualified from Cluster VI as the second-best side. Kerala qualified from this Cluster by winning all its matches.

Andhra Pradesh, which needed a big victory to qualify, could only manage a 1-0 win over Gujarat.

Andhra's victory brought a three-way tie for the second spot, but Gujarat made the grade on better goal average compared to Andhra and Uttaranchal.

Tamil Nadu stayed in the hunt for a pre-quarterfinal berth, holding Assam to a 1-1 draw.

The results: Tripura 4 (Laxman Debnath 2, Satunu Chakraborty 1, Dibankar Deb 1) bt Jharkand 0; Sikkim 3 (Suman Dev 3) bt M.P. 0; Bihar 4 (Kishore Bahadur Sahi 2, Suseel Kumar Sinha 1, Devashib Roy 1) bt Chandigarh 0; Assam Rifles 4 (Nishanth Singh 2, Ajith Kumar 1, Abel Sema) bt Goa 1 (Derrick Pinto); Tamil Nadu 1 (Arun Diamcry (self-goal) drew with Assam 1 (Naychanad Diamcry); CRPF 1 (Hardeep Kumar) bt Karnataka 0; SSB 5 (Renadeep Das 2, Vangkhop Larkom 1, Bhavaneshwar Singh 1, Kiran Kumar 1) bt Maharashtra 2 (Deepak Kharatmal 1, Firoz Ali 1); U.P. 2 (Chander Singh 1, Deeredra Yadav 1) bt Haryana 0; Andaman 1 (Agustine) drew with RPF 1 (Fabian (self-goal); West Bengal 3 (Sarkar Singh 2, Narugopal Ghosh 1) bt Tripura 0; A.P. 1 (Malikarjun) bt Gujarat 0. — Our Sports Reporter
