Churchill Brothers take full
points from JCT

JCT Mills' torrid run in the National Football League continued on Sunday when they lost yet another home match to Goan side Churchill Brothers, by a solitary goal.

The all-important goal was scored in the 76th minute by Francis Siliveira.

In another match, at Thiruvananthapuram, local outfit State Bank of Travancore were held to a goalless draw by Vasco, Goa.

Both teams missed at least a dozen chances in a dull and drab match.

This is the eighth draw for Vasco and they remain in the fifth spot with 20 points. SBT also remain in 11th place with 12 points.

Silveira slotted home past JCT custodian Arvind Kumar after Igor Shkvirnin and Hyder Farooq combined well to weave into the rival box.

With this win, their fifth in the league, Churchill now has 19 points from 14 matches, while JCT, who are yet to win an NFL encounter from as many outings, remain on seven points and are placed at the bottom of the 12-team league.

The first half remained barren even though Churchill dominated throughout, but their moves narrowly missed the target forcing JCT to remain defensive.
