GUWAHATI/Jorhat: Hosts Assam hammered Haryana 11-0 in the final to emerge champions in the Sub-Junior Boys’ National Football Championship Tier 2 at Jorhat on Friday. The winners were leading by 7-0 at the break,

Powered by Tanmoy Boruah’s double hat-trick, who scored six goals, equally divided into two halves. Tamash Daimary and Arup Karmakar scored two goals each, while Nivir Protim Borgohain also found his way into the list of goal scorers in the one-sided contest.
