If both the TC and New Radiant are winning their respective games up to the final day of the league when they meet on 2nd December, an interesting prospect will open up for both the teams. Whoever wins that match will be the winner of league, something that have not happened for a long time. For a league attracting barely any crowd this would certainly be an interesting change from the usual spectacle when the league is settled long way from its final day. It is also intriguing a relatively new comer, TC, could be crowned the champions and Nizam becomes the first local coach to have done so with a team that had been promoted to first division football just last year.
