Chanmari FC and Chanmari West enjoy victories in the Mizoram Premier League, the former leading the table.

Current MPL champions Chanmari FC kicked off round 3 of the Mizoram Premier League in an emphatic manner with a 4-1 win over Mizoram Police FC and moved at the top of the table with seven points.

The newly promoted side drew saves from Chanmari FC's custodian with efforts from F. Lalrinpuia and Lalfakzuala early on in the match.

But the champions then begin to assert their authority in the match as the likes of Vanlalbiaa and first half substitute PC Zosangliana started to run at the Police backline.
