JHR Royal City FC continued their commanding march to remain at the top of the table with an emphatic 4-1 victory over Kopa Tigers Birbhum at the Bolpur Stadium on January 19.

While JHR is dominating, I feel the league needs more competitive balance. A 4-1 scoreline looks exciting, but it was a one-sided affair. Other teams need to step up their game to make the league more thrilling for fans.

Consistency is key! 26 points from 13 matches is no joke. They've been the team to beat all season. Hope they can finish the job. The final against North 24 Parganas won't be easy though, they are fighting for top four.
