Agartala August 05: The Baikuntha Nath Memorial Women’s Football League is gaining momentum as new teams are participating.
Ramakrishna Sebashram, representing Usha Bazar, announced their arrival with authority on Wednesday. The team recovered from an early setback before dismantling Dear Club 5-1 at Umakanta Mini Stadium in a performance that combined patience, discipline and clinical finishing.
The result carried greater significance than three points.
It demonstrated that the newcomers possess the quality, confidence and squad depth required to compete for the title in one of Tripura’s premier women’s football competitions organised by the Tripura Football Association.
Strong Response After Early Shock
The match began unexpectedly.
Dear Club, the Kamalpur subdivision outfit, stunned the experienced opposition in the eighth minute. Mehek Munda capitalised on an opportunity to give her side an early advantage.
Instead of panicking, Ramakrishna Sebashram gradually settled into their rhythm.
The midfield controlled possession. The defenders pushed higher up the pitch. The forwards increased the pressure with every attack.
Their persistence paid off in the 20th minute.
Meta Jamatia finished confidently to restore parity and shift the momentum.
Although Dear Club continued to fight hard throughout the first half, Ramakrishna Sebashram steadily established control over the contest.
Second-Half Dominance Highlights Championship Potential
The real difference appeared after the interval.
Dear Club struggled to match the pace and intensity of their opponents as the game progressed.
Ramakrishna Sebashram took full advantage.
The side moved the ball quickly across the field and created repeated scoring opportunities. Their attacking combinations became increasingly difficult to contain.
This ability to raise the tempo after halftime reflected the team’s physical preparedness and tactical organisation.
Such qualities often separate title challengers from ordinary competitors over the course of a league season.
Brezia Debbarma Delivers a Statement Performance
If one player symbolised Ramakrishna Sebashram’s ambitions, it was Brezia Debbarma.
The forward produced an outstanding display by completing a hat-trick with goals in the 50th, 60th and 68th minutes.
Her movement inside the penalty area consistently troubled the Dear Club defence.
She combined intelligent positioning with composed finishing to put the contest beyond doubt.
Reshmi Koloi also contributed to the scoring with a goal in the 58th minute, underlining the team’s attacking depth rather than reliance on a single player.
For any side hoping to challenge for silverware, multiple goal-scoring options remain a major advantage.
Coach Sujit Ghosh’s Team Sends Early Message
Every successful campaign begins with belief.
Under coach Sujit Ghosh, Ramakrishna Sebashram showed signs of a balanced squad capable of adapting during difficult moments.
Conceding first did not disrupt their approach.
Instead, the players trusted their game plan and steadily turned the contest in their favour.
The comeback highlighted the team’s mental resilience as much as its footballing quality.
Winning comfortably after falling behind often leaves a stronger impression than leading from start to finish.
Dear Club Shows Promise Despite Defeat
The scoreline does not tell the complete story.
Dear Club displayed encouraging football during the opening period.
The newcomers pressed confidently, defended with determination and even led against one of the stronger teams in the competition.
Although they faded physically after the break, the experience gained against a well-organised opponent should prove valuable as the tournament progresses.
The young squad has shown enough potential to believe that improved performances could follow in the coming matches.
Super Four Race Begins to Take Shape
The early rounds of the Women’s Football League are already revealing potential contenders.
Ramakrishna Sebashram’s convincing victory places them firmly among the teams expected to challenge for a Super Four berth.
Attention now shifts to Thursday’s fixture, where Tripura Sports School will face Phulo Jhanu AC. Both teams won their opening matches and another victory would strengthen their qualification prospects.
With several competitive teams showing early promise, the race for the knockout stage appears set to become increasingly intense.
If Wednesday’s performance is any indication, Ramakrishna Sebashram have already served notice that they intend to compete not merely as participants, but as genuine title contenders.
