U-14 football team: DSO Mumbai city runners-up

A confident beginning – DSO football tournament



St. Joseph’s High School,  Wadala
24th July 2013

The inter-school sports are just over a week old, and our boys have made an impact on the games thus far.  The DSO organized football tournament for the u-14 and u-16 age groups was underway last week, and our young inexperienced lads proved their mettle in both the categories.

The class and determination of the two teams were evident when they outclassed some well known teams and powerhouses in football.  The under 14 team surprised pundits to bag a well deserved runners-up position in the Mumbai City championship after losing to the champions Don Bosco High School, Matunga, 1-0.  Earlier on they beat the strong Bombay International School 11-10 via the tie breaker.

In the under 16 category of the same tournament, the Cathedral school team put an end to the string of victories of our resilient team in the quarter finals.  Putting up a brave fight, our boys went down 1-0 to a stronger (height and built!) team, but won a lot of admirers for their gallant effort.


Mr. Tony, Mr. Avinash and Mr. Michael form a strong team of dedicated coaches that have brought our teams thus far, given the limited playing fields and opportunities.  Well done boys and coaches!
