Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the Calcutta Football League as Mohun Bagan take on George Telegraph at the Mohun Bagan Stadium in Kolkata.

Hello and Welcome to Sportskeeda's LIVE coverage of the Calcutta football league. Next up is: Mohun Bagan vs George Telegraph

Perennial Indian Football giants Mohun Bagan are hoping to continue their winning streak when they take on George Telegraph SC in their third fixture of the Calcutta Football League Premier Division 'A' at the Mohun Bagan/CCFC ground.

Mohun Bagan, who have won the CFL title a mammoth 29 times in history, will be raring to challenge fierce rivals East Bengal who are on a 8-title winning streak in the CFL.

Bagan begun their CFL campaign on the right note, winning their first two matches against Pathachakra and NBP Rainbow AC.

However, the two wins have been far from convincing in nature and the fans of the Green and Maroon brigade will be expecting more from the side managed by Shankarlal Chakraborty. They have made good signings at the start of the season and will be going all out to assert their supremacy in the league, which has eluded them for quite a while now.
