Kickstart lift Puttaiah Memorial Cup

Kickstart started the 2022-23 season on a brilliant note by winning Puttaiah Memorial Cup played at the Bangalore Football Stadium this evening. Kickstart lost the inaugral game at the group stage but improved from then on, and peaked when it mattered the most. In the final today, Bangalore Eagles FC could hardly match up to their ability, and handed a 3-1 loss. 

I-League veteran, Princewill Emeka was quick enough to latch on a slow Eagles defense to give Kicstart an early lead. 

Eagles too had their share of chances after conceding, but their strikers lacked finesse and most often than not the ball landed in Kickstart defence.   

Just when everyone was hoping for an equilizer, central midfielder Ryan Wilfred with his astute football sense scored a goal. The game was only 28 minuted old and by then Kickstart we sitting pretty with a two-goal cushion. 

Eagles reduced the margin in the added time when Eagles striker Sanju Kumar was unnecessarily tripped down inside the box and defender Bhanu Prakash made no mistake to score from a penalty spot.   

Princewill was seen in action again after changing ends. Abhisekh, with his speedy run from the right flank floated for one Princewill, which the later made no mistake in putting the ball on the back of the net. 

Kickstart failed to score more despite making enough moves. Bangalore Eagles looked good but in patches and lacked the skill to match Kickstart in all department.

Puttaiah and Prasanna Memorial Cup starts from Thursday

Marking the beginning of the local football season, Bangalore District Football Association (BDFA) is ready with Puttaiah and Prasanna Kumar Memorial Cup, tournament for the Super and A Division teams respectively. 

The tournaments will be played at the Bangalore Football Stadium from Thursday, November 14 thru December 4. 

The tournaments were originally scheduled for October 1 (http://www.gcsstars.com/2013/09/bangalore-football-season-to-start-with.html) which was postponed partly owing to Bengaluru FC’s I-league matches at the same venue.  

In this year’s edition, teams are grouped into two groups - A and B. Group matches will be played on league basis. There will be no semifinal and the winner from each group will make it to the final.  

Puttaiah Kumar Memorial Cup (Super Division) will be played for 90 minutes (45+15+45) and 
Prasanna Kumar Memorial Cup (A Division) will be played for 80 minutes (40+15+40).  

No extra-time rule in the finals, the match will directly go to tie-breaker if the game ends in a draw in the regulation time.
