In the second phase of the ANFA Women’s League Football, the Armed Police Force (APF) Club has showcased its early dominance for the title. This was evident once again in Monday’s match, where APF easily defeated the Walling Municipality team with a commanding 9-0 victory.
The star of the match was Rashmi Kumari Ghising, the hat-trick hero. She had also scored a hat-trick in the previous match against Bagmati Youth.
APF secured its second consecutive win, climbing to the top of the table. APF is the only team in the tournament with a 100% winning record. This victory marks APF’s second-largest win in this season’s league. Earlier, in the first phase, the team had defeated Sudurpaschim 19-0. In terms of goals scored, APF stands far ahead of its rivals.
