$<strong>Margao:</strong> Champions Dempo Sports Club will start the defence of their I-League title with a tricky clash against arch rivals Churchill Brothers Sports Club at the Nehru Stadium in Fatorda on Saturday. Dempo made it to the final of the Federation Cup before eventually losing to East Bengal in extra time, but it was clear that Churchill Brothers was the most impressive team in the competition. Technical director Subhash Bhowmick admits just as much and is now ready to make amends in the I-League, India\'s premier football competition. We could have been Federation Cup champions. Everyone said we played the most beautiful and attractive football. That we lost to East Bengal (in the semis) was unfortunate but we have everything to play for in the I-League, he said.
