Kallakkudi FC beats SRI, emerges TDFA champion

TIRUCHI: Kallakkudi FC emerged the Tiruchi District Football Association (TDFA) second division champion, beating Southern Railway Institute (SRI) 1-0 in the final, here on Sunday.

Kallakkudi played an attacking game from the start. Kalaiarasan’s strike early in the first half put Kallakkudi in the lead. Its players grew in confidence and initiated some threatening moves.

Both the teams have been promoted to the TDFA first division.
