by Nikhil Ghosh February 24, 2015

St. Stanislaus had to face Real Mumbai for becoming the U-14 champions of the second edition of R Kenkre Champions league played at Don Bosco Matunga School on Sunday 22nd February, 2015. The opening 5 minutes witnessed both the teams casually attacking each other’s post. Things began to change in the 10th minute as the Stanislaus began to aim the goal relentlessly.

First goal came from Kevin D’souza, who scored in the 13th minute for the St. Stanislaus side. Few minutes later he got his second goal and it took the Stanislaus lead up to 2-0.

The Real Mumbai goalie saved a brilliant shot denying Stanislaus its third goal in the 17th minute of the game. But the Inevitable third goal came soon as Chinmay Chavan headed the ball while he stood facing the goalkeeper.

3 minutes remained while the Stanislaus dominated the game thanks to their 3-0 lead over Real Mumbai.

Last corner was taken a minute from the stoppage time but nothing came out of it. Score remained the same as the final whistle blew crowning St. Stanislaus U-14 champions. Real Mumbai became the Runners up after failing to score a single goal.

Earlier that day,

Mikal Kazi scored two goals and Ansh Bhansali scored 1 to help Legendary Marians take the 5th position and FSI came in the 6th place.

Both the Don Bosco ‘A’ and ‘B’ team faced each other for the 4th and 3rd place. Atharva Ghatkar scored just across the centre line to give Don Bosco ‘A’ team lead. A last shot was attempted by the ‘B’ team striker but it went past the cross bar and Don Bosco ‘B’ team had to settle for the 4th place instead.
