MEG & Centre posts win

BANGALORE: MEG & Centre scored a 2-0 win over AGORC in a scrappy match in the senior division football league for the George Hoover Cup here on Monday.

Trijith Dass scored both the goals for the Sappers, the first off a penalty kick in the 61st minute.

AGORC's Madan, who was later given marching orders by referee G. Suresh Kumar for a violent tackle, handled the ball inside the box and Trijit deftly converted the resultant penalty.
