St. Lawrence (Kandivali) lifted the coveted Bengal Club ‘Champions’ Trophy after scoring in either half of the match against Sacred Heart (Santacruz) in the inter-school boys under-16 football tournament.
Midfielder Ashutosh Sawant provided assists for consistent scorers Bishal Parikh and Dhruv Belgave, as the team was well organised in both attack and defense and dictated terms against their Santacruz opponents from the outset in the final played at Shivaji Park, Dadar.
Midway through the first half, Ashutosh with a measured forward pass found Bishal ideally positioned on the right side of the opponents box. Bishal controlled the ball and coolly let fly a right-footer past the diving efforts of Sacred Heart goalkeeper Harsh Singh to the far corner and give St. Lawrence a 1-0 lead.
In the second half, Sacred Heart tried to fight back but their hopes of scoring a goal were dashed by the opposition defenders. Meanwhile, St. Lawrence doubled their lead late in the game when Ashutosh floated the ball into the Sacred Heart area and Dhruv leaped high and headed home the second goal, which sealed their triumph.
Results: Boys’ Under-16 - Finals: St. Lawrence, Kandivali 2 (Bishal Parikh, Dhruv Belgave) beat Sacred Heart, Santacruz 0.
