National Football Championship: Tamil Nadu and Railways remain deadlocked in their search for supremacy in Group A of the 28th Senior Women's National Football Championship for Rajmata Jijabai Trophy 2023-24, as they drew 2-2 in Kolkata, on Sunday. Bengal and Punjab were victorious on matchday three of the same group, defeating Delhi and Chandigarh, respectively.

Though they remain third in the table, Bengal are the biggest gainers in the group, as they are now on six points from three matches, followed by Delhi and Punjab, on three points apiece.

Tamil Nadu and Railways, respectively, occupy the top two spots in the group, both having garnered seven points from three matches. The top two teams from the group will qualify for the semifinals. Tamil Nadu looked all set to take a three-point lead at the top of Group A, but a couple of late goals by Railways mean that the latter are very much in the fight to claim pole position. The match ended in a 2-2 draw at the AIFF National Centre of Excellence ground.
