News posted by www.newsinfoline.com

Shillong, May 8 (PTI) Needing just a draw to clinch the title, Dempo would be looking to tame Shillong Lajong FC tomorrow in an I-League match which is equally important for the relegation-threatened home side. Leading the tally with 50 points, Dempo just need a point to take to an unassailable 51-point lead over their closest rivals - Churchill and Mahindra - way behind with 38 points each. Upbeat about tomorrow''s clash, Dempo coach Armando Colaco said, "Lajong is a good team, especially at home. There is very little difference between the I League teams." "The match is very important. This away game may help us seal the title and we are looking forward to it," he said. All his key players - the squad fielded against Mohun Bagan - will play tomorrow''s match. Lajong coach Stanley Rosario, who appeared a bit tense for the first time in this season, said, "They (Dempo) need just one point to become champion. It is a strong and balanced team. It will be a tough match for us albeit on home conditions." "The team (Dempo) is playing together for three/four years. They have a good combination and understanding between them. This is our last home match, so the boys are all mentally prepared," Rosario, banking on home support, said. (More) PTI RTJ SUS SSC.
