I-League 2 - Group A: Southern Samity & United Sikkim qualify!

United Sikkim FC and Southern Samity have topped the preliminary Group A in the 2nd Division I-League to qualify for the final round of the league to be played in Shillong.

The Group A matches where played in Guwahati at the Nehru Stadium and SAI Centre ground over the last couple of weeks. It was an interesting and entertaining group with all teams having midway a real chance to qualify for the final rounds, but in the end the two favourites made their way through.

United Sikkim FC and Southern Samity topped the group with both 13 points, but the newly professionalised USFC top the group due to a better goal difference. Langsning FC and NISA were surprising third and fourth ahead of better known sides Golden Threads FC, Simla Youngs FC and Guwahati Town Club.
