RCT crush Boys Union, Sankata down Naxal Yuwa Mandal

By a Post Reporter

KATHMANDU, May 22- RCT crushed Boys Union 6-1 here today in the Martyrs Memorial League A division tournament.

Boys Union started the match on a high note getting the early lead through Bijaya Maharjan in the very 6th minute. Despite the early setback, RCT kept their nerve and within ten minutes had got back themselves into the match. It was a well executed drive from Bal Gopal Maharjan who shot a 25-yard stunner to level the score 1-1.

Three minutes later, Bal Gopal was in thick of action again, this time producing a well judged pass that saw Milan Shrestha through . All Milan had to do was to dodge the keeper for the second goal for RCT.

A goal up RCT now were looking more than confident spelling trouble for Boys Union with every passing minute. In the 21st minute, it was Nirajan Rayamajhi all the way. He dribbled his way from the centre and dodged past several of Boys Union players to earn the third goal for his side.

The second half also saw no respite for the Union side who had to face the music once again from the RCT forward line. In the 53rd minute, Nirajan made no mistake off a Raj Kumar cross to tap it into the net for his second individual goal and fourth for the side.

Four minutes later, Raj Kumar produced another swift pass. This time the ball was tapped by Bal Gopal for his second goal and team’s fifth.

RCT finally competed the rout in the 85th minute when Raj Kumar Shrestha made it 6-1 making no mistake from a pass off Bal Gopal.

Bal Gopal Maharjan, Raj Kumar Shrestha and Nirajan Rayamajhi had a fantastic match today.

Meanwhile, in the second match of the day, Sankata Boys Sports Club also earned maximum points from their match against Naxal Yuwa Mandal. Sankata struck twice in the first and once in the second to dominate the match and win it 3-0.

Narendra Man Singh was in awesome touch with his free kicks today for Sankata as he scored in the 5th and 50th minute through his well curved shots. However, the Naxal keeper’s lack of match practice could have also attributed to the goals as he was found wanting on both the occasions.

The other goal for Sankata came at the stroke of half time through Sameer Dangol.
