Shillong, Jul 31: Mawlynrei secured promotion to the Third Division 2026 and a place in this year’s semifinals of the Shillong Sports Association’s U-20 Fourth Division 2025 with a convincing 3-0 victory against Golflink in the second quarterfinal at the SSA Stadium at First Ground, Polo, here today.

Ferdinand Pyngrope (2’), Elvinson Kharsohnoh (25’) and Andrew Marboh (75’) were the scorers.

Despite the scoreline Golflink did perform quite well and this match was certainly a big improvement on quality from yesterday’s first quarterfinal. However, Golflink were poor in defence early, allowing Ferdinand to waltz his way to the opening goal. It could have been even worse but a second goal soon after was disallowed for offside.

Elvinson, though, was able to beat the defence to make it 2-0 but after that Golflink began to up their game and challenge the Mawlynrei citadel.

The second half of the 80-minute match was more even but Elvinson and Andrew partnered for the third Mawlynrei goal, with the former crossing the ball for the latter to tap in from close range.

Tomorrow’s fixtures:
Third Division – Group B – Imson vs Rynjah, 1PM
Fourth Division – QF 3 – Mawkasiang vs Mawphlang, 3:30PM
