From the first round of Knock –out, to the quarter finals. Beach boys Vasai, MIT, Bayern Mumbai and Invincible reached the semi-finals. However the battle of the titans in the finals i.e. the Beach boys Vasai and MIT-Loni (Pune District) ended up into the penalties as both scored 3 each. However MIT just seemed to run out of luck leading the Beach boys Vasai to claim the trophy and a cash prize of Rs. 10,000.

The teams participated in a spirit of Sportsmanship. Thanks to the Don Bosco Past Pupils Association Lonavla for organizing the tournament in collaboration with the Lonavla Municipal Council.
