Tomorrow at 4pm, the blue train crosses swords with the Braelyn-based premier league championsStar of India at the North End stadium in a top of the table tussle.

“All sides have to face good and bad times in football. It is all part of the game. What matters most is how mentally strong you are to erase those bad moments and come back stronger than ever before,’’ Smith said.

Star of India president Warren Vengadajellum has assembled a starstudded squad that he believes is now capable of emulating the 2007-2009 squad that won the North End Premier League Championship twice.

“We are celebrating our 115th anniversary this year. What better way to celebrate our anniversary than to lift the EL Central premier league championship trophy and add it to the prestigious Easter Tournament silverware’’, said Vengadejullam.
