SHILLONG: Tyrsad Hr Sec School cruised to a 5-0 victory on Thursday, beating Don Bosco of Maharashtra in a Subroto Cup under-17 girls match in New Delhi.
Pynhun Chulet (incorrectly spelt as Shulet in Wednesday’s edition) repeated her hat-trick performance from the day before to net three goals for the Meghalaya team.
