Subroto Cup: Manipur Players’ Resilience Shine Amid Imphal Curfew, Says Coach H Imo Singh
Myngken Christian Higher Secondary School: The 63rd Subroto Cup Junior Boys winner Manipur’s T.G English School coach H Imo Singh dedicated the win to their hometown and claimed ‘the players’ spirit and heart was playing for Manipur.’
Manipur’s T.G English School clinched the title getting the better of Meghalaya’s Myngken Christian Higher Secondary School 4-3 via sudden death tie-breaker, after both teams tied 1-1 in regulation time.
It was the third time in history, first in 44 years, that a team from Manipur lifted the storied trophy ( Ibemcha HSS won back to back titles way in 1979 and 1980) but for the players and the head coach, the win meant much more than football. Manipur is currently under curfew due to escalating law and order concerns. The head coach of the winning team dedicated the win to their hometown and claimed ‘the players’ spirit and heart was playing for Manipur.’
