St Lawrence High School (Kandivli) dished out an excellent combined performance to score a fluent 2-0 win against Christ Church School (Byculla) in a boys U-16 Group ‘A’ match of the MSSA inter-school football tournament at the St Francis D’Assisi High School ground, Borivli, on Friday.
The Kandivli boys, winners of the MSSA Ahmed Sailor knockout tournament last year, scored once in each half. Anush More’s long-range shot gave them the opener while a superb solo effort from Tanish Mahadik made it 2-0 as St Lawrence recorded their second successive win to qualify for the playoffs. St Lawrence had defeated Smt RSB AVM (Juhu) 3-1 previously.
