By SPORTS REPORTER

GUWAHATI, July 26 - A draw against Kerala would have put Assam in the pre-quarterfinals of the National Football Championship for the Santosh Trophy.

But in the last match of Cluster VII former champions Kerala handed Assam a 5-2 drubbing and sent packing from the championship.

Earlier Assam beat Himachal Pradesh 10-0 and Uttarakhand 7-0.

On the other hand Kerala recorded a 3-1 victory against Uttarakhand and 10-0 win against Himachal Pradesh.

But in the crucial match Assam boys failed to deliver and went down meekly. For Kerala Javed, Justin Stephen, Sakeer MP, Bijesh Ben and Subair KP were the scorers while Akum Ao and Jilendra Brahma struck for Assam.
