Shillong, Aug 22: Three-time champions Shillong Lajong named their squad for the Shillong Premier League 2019 yesterday.
Devoid of many names that have become synonymous with the club over the years – like Samuel Lalmuanpuia, Hardycliff Nongbri, Aiban Dohling and Phurba Tempa Lachenpa – Lajong will go into this season with a core group of players who have I-League experience behind them and a large bunch of young talents.
Many of them were part of the Lajong side that won the U-18 Shillong Premier League last month. SLFC didn’t lose a single match in that league.
The team coach is Alison Kharsyntiew, with Jose C Rodriguez Hevia the technical advisor.
Lajong won the SPL three years running between 2014 and 2016, finished third in 2017 and second last year.
Squad: Kenstar Kharshong. Henry Ford Nongneng, Baiaikara Swer, Apborlang Kurbah, Rajat Paul Lyngdoh, Freestar Kharbangar, Phrangki Buam, Remark Kharmalki, Wadajied Kynsai Ryngkhlem, Saveme Tariang, Batskhemlang Thangkhiew, Skillful Tariang, Maxderidoff Wahlang, Dajied Wanshnong, Kitboklang Khyriem, Donboklang Lyngdoh, Samuel Lyngdoh Kynshi, Kynsailang Khongsit, Abhay Gurung, Bishal Waiba, Vanlalhriata, Muhammed Safique Ahmed, F Lalrohlua, Parvaj Bhuiya, Naorem Mahesh Singh, Aman Alawat
