KOLKATA: It was a mix of youth and experience as an indomitable Manipur claimed their 22nd Senior Women’s National Football Championship for Rajmata Jijabai Trophy by beating Haryana 2-0 at the Kishore Bharati Krirangan on Wednesday.
Veteran Bala Devi made up for a penalty miss by earning the champions lead in the 68th minute and 17-year-old Sibani Devi broke the gallant Haryana side’s spirits in the 83rd by doubling it.
