Shillong, Jul 2: Golflink had to come from a goal down but beat Risa Colony 2-1 in their Group A match of the Shillong Sports Association’s U-20 Fourth Division 2025 today at the SSA Stadium at First Ground, Polo, here.
Teilas Marwein (34′) put Risa Colony in front in the first half of the 80-minute match but Golflink came back in the second session with strikes from Debian Suting (59′) and Andoni Suting (80′).
This is the third time that a team has won from a losing position in this group. The opening match saw Golflink defeat Thynroit 4-3 after being behind three times. The second occasion saw Risa Colony twice lead against Thynroit only for the latter to win 3-2.
Today’s result means that Golflink finish with a perfect four wins in four games and top the group with a maximum 12 points. Risa Colony end their campaign at the bottom of the table and will (with the SSA’s new rule) be excluded from next year’s U-20 Fourth Division. Second place (and with it a place in the second round) is still up for grabs between Mawshbuit and Laitkroh, who will meet on 10th July.
Tomorrow’s fixture:
Nongthymmai Nongkynrih vs Dilingiem, Group C, 4PM
