Technico FF complete promotion formalities

Bengaluru: Technico FF confirmed the Super Division promotion with a second-place finish (35 points) on the points table of the BDFA A Division League Championship as the club walloped Sniper FC 5-0 in their last competitive match of the season at the BFS here on Wednesday. 

Technico’s one-sided result made the last match of the A Division between BTM FC and Sree Gajanana FC inconsequential as BTM’s 5-2 victory on the day wasn’t enough to take them beyond third place with 32 points. Stride Sports FC earlier claimed the league title and first promotion spot. 

Meanwhile, Ronn Jairus Joel’s first-half brace (14th and 44th minute) put the match beyond any doubt for Technico against a lowly Snipers FC (10th with 16). Sunil Bhatt (41st), Thangjslen Guite (53rd) and Natahan Akash Powell also joined the party. 

In the B Division, Group A toppers Mysore Vijayanagar were crowned the champions with a 1-0 victory over Group B winners FC Mangalore.

Results: A Division: Technico FF: 5 (Ronn Jairus Joel 14th, 44th, Sunil Bhatt 41st, Thangjslen Guite 53rd, Nathan Akash Powell 58th) bt Sniper FC: 0; BTM FC: 5 (Devaraj J 8th, Niranjai Nanu 11th, 83rd, 89th) bt Sree Gajanana FC: 2 (E Devaraj 48th, B Niroshan Babu 72nd).
