Addressing the players before the game as chief guest, former president of All Sajolang Elite Society, Aju Khonjuju encouraged the young sportspersons to uphold discipline and sportsman spirit in and off the field.
“One of the main advantages of playing any sport is that it teaches us to cope with failures and disappointments that come our way and to make renewed efforts to achieve success next time. So give your best and make yourself worthy of representing the state and country in the future,” Khonjuju said.
