Nijgadh,
Bara - The Shahid Hiralal
Stadium witnessed another day of spirited football as the Bikala Regmi Memorial
Junior Cup continued its exciting run. Wednesday's second match saw Ward No. 8
battle it out against Ward No. 6 in a contest that kept everyone on the edge of
their seats until the final whistle.
The first half was a cagey affair, with both teams
displaying solid defense and cancelling each other out, resulting in a goalless
stalemate as they headed into the break. The tension in the air was palpable,
with supporters from both wards eagerly anticipating a breakthrough.
The second half, however, brought the decisive moment.
It was Sujan Majhi of Ward No. 8 who etched his name into the scoresheet, his
well-taken strike proving to be the solitary goal that ultimately sealed
victory for his team. The cheers from the Ward No. 8 supporters erupted as the
ball hit the back of the net, a moment of pure elation after a hard-fought
contest.
While the winning goal was crucial, the stellar
performance of Prashis Timalsina from the victorious Ward No. 8 earned him the
well-deserved title of 'Man of the Match'. His contribution didn't go
unnoticed, and he was honored with a trophy and a cash prize of NPR 1,000 in a
heartwarming ceremony. Presenting the accolades were Ward No. 8 Chairman Swarna
Lama, Ward No. 6 Chairman Ghanshyam Timalsina, Ward No. 8 member Shalikram
Dhungana, and the ever-present and deeply respected mother of the late Bikala
Regmi, Kamala Regmi. Her continued presence adds a poignant touch to the
tournament, reminding everyone of the young spirit it commemorates.
Looking ahead, the tournament promises more thrilling
action on Thursday with two exciting matches lined up. The first match will see
Ward No. 1 take on Ward No. 13, followed by an intriguing encounter between
Ward No. 2 and Ward No. 7.
Organized with great enthusiasm by the Nijgadh
Municipal Sports Development Committee at the Shahid Hiralal Stadium in
Nijgadh-9, and expertly managed by the Nijgadh Football Club, the Bikala Regmi
Memorial Junior Cup is not just about the competition; it's about fostering
young talent and honoring a cherished memory through the beautiful game. The
passion and dedication on display are a testament to the enduring spirit of
football in the community.
