Ramlun North off to winning start in LG Independence Cup

Goals from Vanlallawma and Lalnunmawia on either side of halftime were enough to ensure three points for their team.

Ramhlun North FC began their LG Independence Cup campaign with a 2-1 win over Bethlehem Vengthlang FC on a damp Tuesday evening at AR Lammual.

Goals from Vanlallawma and Lalnunmawia on either side of halftime were enough to ensure three points while Bethlehem Vengthlang FC suffered their second defeat in as many matches.

BVT FC threatened first in the early stages through Dina Varte and a freekick from Lalhlimpuia. But Ramhlun North FC struck on the 39th minute when Vanlallawma finished off a brilliant delivery from Lalliansanga. They almost added another right before halftime when K. Lalnunzama spurned a wonderful opportunity.

After a brief stoppage due to low visibility in the second half, Ramhlun North FC struck again as Lalnunmawia found the net after being put through by Joseph Lalnunpuia.
