Shrinivas V. Dempo, the president of the Goa Football Association and Dempo SC, in his capacity as GFA president congratulated Churchill Brothers SC for winning their second I-League title.
With this triumph of Churchill Brothers, since the inception of the I-League in 2007, the trophy has been coming to Goa only with the six titles shared amongst Dempo SC (thrice), Churchill Brothers (twice) and Salgaocar FC (once).
Shrinivas Dempo, in a press statement on Saturday, said, “It is definitely a proud moment for Goan football that yet again a Goan club has managed to lift the I-League title and ensuring that the trophy was retained in Goa. I therefore congratulate the Churchill Brothers management, their players and coaching staff for their stupendous achievement of regaining the I-League title.”
“Churchill’s triumph in I-League once again reiterates the supremacy of Goan football in national perspective. Record suggests that I-League has been dominated by Goan clubs and the trend has continued,” Shrinivas Dempo added.
