Chitwan’s Playoff Hopes Derail, Dhangadhi Go Atop

Sandesh Sigdel, Kathmandu An Afeez Olawale goal in the second minute of the match guided Dhangadhi FC to a narrow win against FC Chitwan, taking them to the top of the Nepal Super League table. Olawale’s cross-turned-goal early on in the match was enough for the men in yellow to get all three points. Chitwan head coach Mehrajuddin Wadoo made two changes to his side, with Roshan Rana Magar replaced by Nawayug Shrestha and Hem Tamang stepping in for the suspended Utsav Rai.

Butwal Snatch A Point From Chitwan At The Death

By a Staff Reporter Kathmandu (HamroKhelkud) - Stephan Binong's last-minute goal thwarted FC Chitwan's quest for a consecutive victory in the ongoing second edition of the Nepal Super League (NSL). Chitwan, who had a poor start to their campaign with a loss and a draw, had a second straight win in their grasps but conceded a late goal to take just a point away from the match. After a goalless first half, both sides were unable to create clear chances in the match. Chitwan kept more of the ball and tried creating chances persistently. Butwal goalkeeper Mohammadou was at fault for Chitwan’s goal but a communication lapse at the back towards the end evaded the win for Chitwan. Chitwan midfielder Utsab Rai tried to test Butwal goalkeeper Mohammadou in the very first minute...

T20 World Cup Qualifiers: In-form Nepal eye to seize golden opportunity

Sandesh Sigdel, Kathmandu “Past. Gone. We’ll take the learning from it. Only focus is on what’s coming next”, Nepal head coach Monty Desai was clear about where his priorities lie, when asked about the Tri-Series final loss against the UAE on the eve of the ICC T20 World Cup Asia Qualifiers.

Nepal’s only participation in the premier tournament brought a drastic change in the cricketing environment of the country. The T20 World Cup in 2014 not only saw celebration across the entire nation but inspired thousands to take up the...
