Its April, 2022 and one more batch of CNLU is about to graduate. Firstly due to Covid and then due to some construction work on the football ground, it is now almost certain that there will no inter-batch football tournament for third year in a row. 

The 2022 batch is gonna remain trophy less like their immediate seniors. However the moments which 2022 batch gave us can never be forgotten. In the year 2018 they were on the cusp of reaching the semi-finals. However late goals by the 2020 batch against the 2019 batch ensured that they ended 4th in the tournament and were thus knocked out.

2019 edition was disappointing for them as they ended last in the tournament. However their captain Adarsh was determined to change his team's fortunes. He was a brilliant defender, but his individual performance was not sufficient. As a result he started working upon his players post the tournament. In a few months time their game did improve. Unfortunately post 2019 no tournament happened and they ended up trophy less.

But, still the passion which they had for the game can never be questioned. It is pertinent to note that their captain Adarsh not only was a good defender but also helped in organizing every football tournament.  Without his hard work the football tournaments could not have been conducted so smoothly.

With the graduation of 2022 batch, CNLU loses one of its best footballers and organizers of the game.
