Victoria Adamjee first to breast the tape

Sports Reporter
With all Interest concerning the league now accruing around the derby between reigning cham-
pion* Abahani Krlra Chakra and their arch-rivals Mohammedan Sporting Club, to be played on June 7, Sunday, the end of the running for other teams rarely incite the interest of the sports-lover yet inevitably an end Is always there to end everything that
Yesterday al the Dhaka Stadium. in the only match of the First Division football league
nothingness, Victoria Sporting Club and Adamjee Sports Club quietly breasted the tape lo finish their league campaign for this year's 20-team competition after having played 19 matches each. They drew, or decided to draw, their last match one-all with Victoria managing 20 points from 19 matches, pushing them to the fifth position, albeit temporarily, while Adamjee finished with five points less, also from 19 matches.
With both teams well out of the relegation-throes there was hardly any stake In the match and quite predictably the contest was mainly confined to midfield with neither side appearing loo keen to force a result.
After a listless show of 27 minutes tn humid conditions
under the hot Min, Victoria took the lead, or rather one should say, were given the lead, when Adamjec's defender Rakhal. in a bid to clear ■ free kick by a Victoria player, put the ball into his own net tn the 28th minute of the match (1 -01.
Down by an accidental goal. Adamjee tried to pull their socks up but their Intentions were not translated into reality In the rest of the first half as their forwards failed to break through the Victoria defence marshalled by a veteran Abu Yusuf, now taking care of the Victoria citadel after having served giants like Mo hammedans and Abahani at hts peak.
Better fortune awaited Adamjee In the post-lemon session and they drew level twelve minutes into Ihc see ond half when midfielder Yusuf beat Aslam with a well-directed grounder following a combined move that had the Victoria defence razed beyond repair (1-1).
The goal triggered off a brief Session of entertaining football as both teams -- one smarting under the set-back of wasting the lead and the other charged by the recent success -- tried to get what could have been the decider. Victoria had the most positive chance when their striker Mamunul Karim nodded the ball towards the Adamjee goal but goalkeeper Narayan parried it away for a corner.
With the rest for a result pacing away too quickly and the deadly combination of complacency and Incapacity creeping in to fill the vacuum createdby the departure of ca gerncss, the match could not head for any other reauit than an all-too-fa mi liar draw. It was juat another draw for the followers of the game grown bla«e by the series of fixed matches and goal drought but the two teams who. unlike the Big Three enter the fray every year without the ambition of any distinction, achieved a dubiously rare feat by breasting the terminal tape ahead of the more celebrated names like Mohammedan. Abahani. Brother* and many other*.
