Abahani will play Sheikh Russell KC today

Friday, 21 May 2010


League leaders Abahani Limited will play the third-ranked Sheikh Russell KC in a key match of Citycell Bangladesh League today (Friday) almost to assure the league crown for the 3rd time in a row, reports UNB.
The match will kick off at 4 pm at the Bangabandhu National Stadium.
The popular sky-blue Dhanmondi outfit Abahani, which comfortably dominates the league table securing 61 points from 21 outings, needs just four points from three matches to clinch the prestigious league crown on all three occasions.
Mohammedan SC followed the leaders with 58 points from 22 encounters, playing one match more than Abahani while Sheikh Russell KC is in the 3rd slot with 47 points from 21 outings.
In the remaining two league matches, Abahani will play tenth-ranked Farashganj SC on May 25 and play arch-rival Mohammedan SC on May 31, both at the Bangabandhu National Stadium.
Dhaka Mohammedan SC will play Chittagong Mohammedan on May 26, apart from playing their traditional rivals Dhaka Abahani on May 31.
Two national strikers Enamul Haque of Dhaka Abahani and Zahid Hasan Emily of Dhaka Mohammedan are also vying for the honour of highest scorer of the league, with 18 goals already to the credit of both.
