In the final of the 25th edition of the Budhasubba Gold Cup Football, former winners NRT are competing against Church Boys United on Saturday. Both teams claim that the final at Dharan stadium will be competitive. In the prematch conference on Friday, the captain and coach of both teams claimed to win the title.
Both the captain and the coach said that they will not be weak as they are familiar with each other. The coach of both teams admits that due to ANFA competing in the tournament, some players of NRT and Church Boys will have some shortfall in their best performance due to Dharan-Pokhara-Dharan running.
By forming two teams from the same club, the audience is also eager to see the competition between these teams participating in the Aha-Rara Gold Cup at Dharan Stadium on Saturday. Coach Shyam Mali said that since NRT has already participated in 4 competitions this season, it will be easy to compete with Church Boys in Budhasubba finals.
He said that the national player Anjan Bista is ready to withdraw from Pokhara. Captain Saroj Tamang said that former winner NRT, who won the title of the 10th edition earlier, is capable of increasing the number of titles and repeating history. NRT defeated Kankandvita Football Tanning Center in Jhapa by 3-1 goals in the quarter-finals and UKFC India by 3-1 goals in the semi-finals.
Captain Anant Tamang says that Church Boys, who have reached the final for the first time, are at stake to create history by becoming the new champions. Less than 24 hours after winning the Jhapa Gold Cup title last year, Church Boys will want to forget the pain of being eliminated from the first round when they play Budhasubba.
Church Boys Samir Tamang and Armand Bayedum scored hat-tricks in the semi-final match against Bhutan's RTC Club and are set to enter the field with high morale. Coach Suman Shrestha said that Church Boys, who won the opening match with Nepal Police Club by a narrow margin of 1-0, will improve their past shortcomings and perform well.
Church Boys, who have played four tournament finals in the ongoing season, competed against NRT in two finals. Church Boys, runners-up in the Sikkim Governors Gold Cup, lost 3-0 to NRT in the Eelam Gold Cup final last November. Church Boys defeated NRT 3-1 in the Jhapa Cup final held in August. After that, this team is going to play Budhasubba final. The winner will win Rs 10 lakh and the runner-up will win Rs 5 lakh.
