by Vidhi Shah February 24, 2015

Held at the Don Bosco Grounds, Matunga the fifth edition of the Kenkre Go Green Cup was inaugurated today. It is a community based football tournament for children with five age groups for the participants right from under- 8 until under- 17.

Under-17 Day 1:

The highlight in this division was the match between K- Blues (runners up in the Kenkre Champions League just a day earlier) and Parasites (which featured some of the players of K- Greens who had defeated the K- Blues to win the same Champions League.

It was a cracker of a game, with both the teams attacking equally and one also got to witness good goalkeeping from both the ends. However, it was the sole goal by Shaun just under the first minute which gave the K- Blues their win. The game also saw the only red card of the day being awarded to Kashif Sayed for arguing with the referee.
