Balagonj Osmani Nagar – the reigning champions of the keenly awaited Sonali Othith Upazila Cup 2016 have started preparations to retain their trophy. At a “get training” session at Victoria Park, manager Mamun Chowdhury – along with Newark legend Ubaidunoor Chowdhury – assessed both new and established players.

A good mix of old and new players – some fit, some unfit – turned up. Balagonj Osmani Nagar begin their warm up games on Tuesday, 9th at the Chobham Academy, Newham.

Veteran Shahajan Miah said, “We need to assess ourselves and prepare properly. We have a good pool of players to choose from and many have played for the likes of Newark, Mohammadan, Stepney and Beaumont. It will be hard to retain our crown, but I am quietly confident.”
