Singh Sabha saw their chances of retaining the Premier Division title this season dealt a blow after a 2-2 draw with Hype Train on Saturday.

A goal from Leon Mannion gave Hype Train the lead inside seven minutes but the scores were level at the break after Hassan Mahmood struck for the hosts.

The 2020/21 champions edged ahead through Mubarak Bashir but their lead did not last long as a goal from substitute Ashraf Ali meant the visitors left with a vital point.
