The club has already qualified for the local A Division League this year.

“We won the B Division League last year and we hope to do well this time. All our players are from Kalimpong subdivision. Since all of them are students, we are providing stipend for their education. We are also taking care of the accommodation and food of the players from outside the town,” said Lepcha.
