Jawalakhel out of bottom zone after first win

Jawalakhel Youth Club (JYC) registered their first win of the league with a 1-0 win over Chyasal Youth Club (CYC) and climbed out of bottom two in the Qatar Airways Martyr's Memorial 'A' Division League 2021/22 on Saturday.

Nicholas Fernandes solitary strike in the 37th minute helped JYC jump to 10th in the table. Fernandes goal was also JYC's first goal in the league. CYC meanwhile dropped to 11th, a place below JYC.

JYC's Kishor Kumar KC said they were happy to finally register their first win of the league. "This win should boost the confidence of our players. We still target to finish fourth in the table. Let's see there are many games still to play," said KC.

CYC's Bal Gopal Sahukhala said it was an important match for the team but conceded due to a simple mistake. "We had created chances but could not score. Injury to players have also not helped our cause," said Sahukhala.

Three Star Club (TSC) will play New Road Team (NRT) in the other match of the day at Dasharath Stadium at 4:45 pm.
