Summary

edit

The 2001 Calcutta Women's Football League final was held at the Rabindra Sarobar Stadium on 16 March 2001 between Kolkata giants Mohun Bagan and East Bengal, in the very first season of their formation. This match would thus remain recorded as the first-ever women's Kolkata Derby between the two teams. East Bengal women's team clinched the match 1–0 courtesy of a solitary goal from forward Shanta Dhara in the twenty-third minute of the game as East Bengal held onto the lead and lifted their first-ever Calcutta Women's Football League title.[6][7][4][5][8][9][10]
