EB-Tolly match postponed

The IFA has postponed the East Bengal-Tollygunge Agragami Super Division encounter, slated for Tuesday, to Thursday. Instead, Tollygunge will lock horns with Peerless SC on Tuesday. The Tollygunge-Peerless match fell through because of insufficient light five minutes before time on Sunday.

IFA secretary Subrata Dutta said , the change was necessitated since an abandoned match will have to be replayed first before a fresh commitment gets underway.

The Super Six is likely to begin from September 6 while the tentative date for the East Bengal-Mohun Bagan match has been fixed on September 11. Meanwhile, Suley Musah signed for East Bengal on Monday.
