Mariner Youngs Club blanked Wari Club 4-0 to taste their first win in three matches at the same venue.

With the first draw in four matches, Mohammedan SC and Sonali Bank have 10 points each, two points behind joint league leaders Abahani Limited and Usha Krira Chakra.

The runners-up of the Club Cup Hockey, Sonali Bank, failed to keep the momentum in the second half and the Motijheel-based outfit, Mohammedan, took control of the match.

Mohammedan reduced the margin in the 43rd minute with Abdus Sajjad John converting a penalty corner while Jahid Bin Talib equalised the margin in the 51st minute from a field goal.
