Shillong, April 9: The Meghalaya Swimming Association’s (MSA) football team organised a one-day football exhibition match “across the borders” against Sikkim TNA Alumni team on Saturday at the MFA ground Polo.

Rain posed a challenge to the players and spectators at the MFA Ground but the slight drizzle did not dampen the spirit of the players.

The match saw the two teams battle it out on the field, however, the match ended in a draw 2-2.
