Siwan girls clinch Bihar State Women’s Football crown




Patna, April 14, 2017: Siwan clinched the 11th Bihar State Women's Football Championship for S Ejaz Hussain Cup defeating West Champaran through an extra time goal 1-0 in Begusarai on Friday.

Amrita Kumar scored the match winner in the 4th minute of the extra time after both the teams locked goalless in the regulation period.

The match began in fast pace as both teams were seen looking for opportunity to open the account. Both the teams applied their best in the first half utilizing their wings but the elusive goal eluded them. The first half ended 0-0

The second half too saw impressive football from both the teams. Siwan had some upper hand but their forwards failed to convert some opportunities into goal.

After the barren second half, 10-10 minutes extra time rule came into force. Amrita Kumar latched onto ball near the West Champaran post and shot it perfectly into the rival goal to make it 1-0.

The later part of the match saw West Champaran girls striving hard to score the equaliser but that went in vain.

Begusarai district magistrate Md Naushad Yusuf, Begusarai Superintendent of Police Ranjeet Kumar Mishra, Bihar Olympic Association and Hockey Bihar secretary Mushtaque Ahmad, Bihar Football Association secretary Imtiaz Hussain and other officials witnessed the final match and later gave away the prizes.


Begusarai team got the fair play trophy.

Referees: Md.Ashfaq Alam, Madhu Kumari, Roshan Gupta and Niraj Kasishap
