Revenge will be top in the list of priorities for Nepal club Three Star when they face a rampaging Tata Football Academy (TFA) in a mouth-watering semi-final match of the 30th All India Governor’s Gold Cup football tournament on 23rd October at the Paljor Stadium.
“We lost to TFA in 2005 here and this time, we want to get our revenge”, said Upendra Man Singh, Three Star coach.
The prospects of paying back to TFA looks more bright with the Nepal side coach seeking reinforcements from Kathmandu.
“Our six regular players who were doing national duty in the tournament in Malaysia returned today back to Kathmandu and I am trying to get them here for the semi-finals,” informed the coach.
Hampered by the absence of the above six regulars, the Three Star coach had fielded a junior team with most of the players below 17 years in today’s quarterfinals against a physical BSF side.
The Nepal club walked past the BSF team by two goals to one evoking a happy response from the coach.
“Full credit goes to our junior boys. They proved that they can match our senior players and won the hearts of the Sikkimese people with their game”, said Singh.
A fuming BSF coach Avatar Singh barked a stern ‘no comments’ when asked for his comments on his side’s loss. A wrestling style dumping his chair to his disappointed players at the end of the game summed up his poor sportsmanship.
