MARGAO
Warriors FC emerged champion of 7-a-side women's football tournament, beating Royal Chefs 3-0 at Halshivadi, Khanapur in Karnataka.
Warriors were in control from the get-go and it did not take them long to nose ahead through Alisha Tavares, who brilliantly drilled past the rival goalkeeper with a snap-shot. India international Karishma Shirvoikar troubled the Royal Chefs’ defence as she made constant forays and looked threatening every time she bombed forward.
Warriors FC kept knocking on the door as Karishma found the mark to underline her dominance. In the second half, the Chefs’ defence was harassed with persistent raids before Aditi Jhadav fired in the third in.
Leena Gaunso of Warriors FC was named as the best defender of the tournament.
