Shree Bhagawati Club secured promotion to the A Division after a crucial 2-1 victory over fellow promotion contenders Boys Union Club on Tuesday.

Goals from Shishir Lekhi and Ajit Lama gave Shree Bhagawati the edge in the match played at the ANFA Complex. Although Sanjeev Lama pulled one back for Boys Union in the 79th minute, it wasn’t enough to keep their promotion hopes alive.

The players and officials of Shree Bhagawati celebrated their promotion with jubilant fans in the stadium, marking a historic return to the top tier of Nepali football.

In the day’s other match, RCT played out a 1-1 draw against Birgunj United. Prajwal Gurung gave RCT the lead in the 48th minute, but Sagar Bantha Tharu equalized for Birgunj in the 57th. The result confirmed Shree Tusal Youth Club’s relegation to the C Division.

Tusal on brink of relegation after Jhapa defeat, Madhyapur secured

Shree Tusal Youth Club are staring at relegation to the C Division following a 2-0 defeat to Jhapa Football Club in the Martyr's Memorial B Division League.

Pradeep Budathoki was the hero for Jhapa, scoring both goals—first in the 59th minute and again in the seventh minute of stoppage time in the match at the Dasharath Stadium. The loss leaves Tusal’s fate hanging in the balance; they will be relegated if RCT earn at least a draw against Birgunj United in their upcoming match.

In the day’s other fixture, Madhyapur Youth Association confirmed their B Division status with a narrow 1-0 win over Bansbari Club. Sahil KC netted the only goal of the match in the 65th minute, securing Madhyapur’s survival in the league.

KWS Planning Boys United have officially clinched the Martyr's Memorial B Division League title with a commanding 5-0 victory over Nayabasti Youth Club, who have now been relegated to the C Division.

An own goal by Nabin Khabas just two minutes into the second half extended Planning Boys’ advantage to 3-0. Tharu added his second of the match in the 55th minute, and Pratap Sing Rai completed the rout with a goal in the 72nd.

This emphatic win not only confirmed Planning Boys United as champions but also condemned Nayabasti Youth Club to relegation.
