Diengshynrum SC Secures First Quarterfinal Spot in Meghalaya Women’s State League 2025

The Meghalaya Women’s State League 2025 has entered a crucial phase as teams compete fiercely to secure places in the quarterfinals. Diengshynrum SC has emerged as the first team to book its spot in the quarterfinals, topping Group C following a dominant performance against Chirupheiwi Nongkynrih FC. Group C, comprising only these two teams, followed a home-and-away format, with only the winner progressing to the knockout stage. Diengshynrum had already established a 2-0 lead in the first leg on October 2 and reinforced their supremacy with a commanding 10-0 victory in the return leg at Khliehriat.

Charlinda Nongtdu was the standout player, netting four goals in the match (8’, 43’, 72’, 85’), while her teammates Saphapaya Lyngdoh (12’), Deimonme Lyngdoh (26’), and Hapily Lyngdoh (78’) also contributed to the scoreline. This comprehensive victory not only highlighted Diengshynrum’s attacking strength but also demonstrated their defensive solidity, keeping Chirupheiwi Nongkynrih FC scoreless throughout both legs. Their consistent performance ensures they are the first team to advance from Group C into the quarterfinals, setting a high standard for the rest of the competition.

Meanwhile, Group A witnessed a spectacular turnaround as Na Rympei FA rebounded from two consecutive opening defeats to record an astonishing 14-0 win over Lapalang SSCC. Pynhun Shulet was the driving force behind the victory, scoring seven goals (7’, 18’, 21’, 38’, 63’, 88’, 90’), while Daai (19’), Remika (22’, 42’), Tracy Rympei (30’), Streamlet Taro (45’), Iawanlang Nongbet (54’), and Wanmi Kharpan (60’) completed the scoring. With five teams in Group A, the top three will advance to the knockout stage. Currently, the group is led by Laitkor SC, Pay For Right FA, and Na Rympei FA, reflecting a competitive race for quarterfinal qualification.

In Group B, the six-team contest is equally competitive. Mawlum Tyrsad SC and Mawten SC played out a goalless draw, indicating strong defensive performances from both sides. Meanwhile, Bright Future SSCC secured a 4-0 victory over Mawsawrit SC, with goals coming from Ricika Basawiawmoit (5’, 39’), B Thongni (50’), and H Nongrum (88’). This result consolidates the top four teams—Mawlum Tyrsad SC, Bright Future SSCC, Mawten SC, and Young SSCC—as the likely quarterfinalists from Group B. The performances in Group B highlight the growing competitiveness and balance among the teams, making the upcoming knockout rounds highly anticipated.

Looking ahead, Monday’s sole fixture in the league features Pay For Right FA facing Attacker’s Youth Club at 10 am in Shillong. This match will be critical for both sides as they aim to strengthen their positions in the standings and improve their chances of progressing to the knockout stage.
