Ccpur, the 15th May, 2018 : After weeks of unending dramas, breakthroughs, upsets and controversies, the 15th edition of the Hmar Martyrs' Trophy 2018 will come into conclusion come tomorrow when heavyweights FAST of Rengkai takes on cross-locality rivals FC Rengkhawpui at Saikot playground, Churachandpur.
After witnessing three finals' attempts ended in tatters, Friendship Athletic Sports Team (FAST) of Rengkai will be looking forward to end their final curse when they welcome tournament's dark-horse FC Rengkhawpui, who are making their first final appearance.
Despite making a slow start to the campaign, FAST gained momentum with the progress of the tournament and a place into the final for what could be termed as their natural place as they ride into the summit clash for a record 4 times in 6 years.
Meanwhile, FC Rengkhawpui were considered to have had an outside chance of reaching the final before the tournament started but they defied all odds to claim a stake into the summit showdown after showcasing some spectacular performances on their way to the final.
🎬 Favourites :
As it appeared and considering the history of both teams and the performances as well as strength of each team, FAST are considered favourites heading into tomorrow's final but FC Rengkhawpui also have the chance to upset their cross-locality rivals if they manage to reproduce the type of spark and technique that send them through to the final.

🎟 Squad Strength :
FAST have a squad comprising majority of players who are at their peak point plying their trade across some of the biggest clubs in Manipur while FC Rengkhawpui have a squad comprising mainly of experience players but it is assumed their strength of experience is what brought them into tomorrow's final as they overcame teams one after another with patience and calm.
