BIS #1963 DB - MATUNGA FIRST OFF THE BLOCKS

BIS Correspondant
MATUNGA, AUGUST 13, 2010: Don Bosco - Matunga have begun the new scholastic year in style by capturing the first tournament of the year – the M.S.S.A. U–16 football tournament for boys. Having dominated the league, they maintained their stranglehold of the super league by not loosing a single game, and even managed to defeat old rivals St. Stanislaus 6 – 0. Special mention must be made of ‘keeper Mahir Singh who managed to maintain a clean sheet under the bar right through the tournament and deservingly won the Best Goalkeeper of the Tournament as well as Byrian Corriea who won the Best Defender award. More than just winning a tournament, it was the manner in which they achieved it that speaks volumes of the tenacity of the boys. With malaria in the air, the Unit Tests in progress, and the District level matches being played simultaneously, the Bosco boys took it all in their stride and proved why Don Bosco - Matunga is referred to as the ‘football power house’ of Mumbai.
