L G B football tourney from Oct 10

Guwahati, Oct 6 (UNI) City Police will lock horns with Udalguri's New Model Sports Club in the opening match of the Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi trophy football tournament to start from October 10 at the Nehru Stadium here.

The tournament this year would be a low-key affair, with glamorous outfits giving it a miss.

George Telegraph, a premier division outfit from Kolkata, and ONGC, Mumbai, would be the only outside teams to participate.

Organising president Jatin Bora said all preparations were complete and the tournament would be played under flood lights to attract more crowds.

Though the matches' itinerary has not been disclosed, the finals are slated for October 20.
