In the first 1^st division fixture of the day, Kenkre FC U-17 ‘s road for group C top 2 finish hit a major road block as they were held to a 2-2 draw against Catholic Gymkhana. Trailing group leaders Tarun sporting by ten points with four games in hand, Kenkre started off poorly as they went down 0-1 in the 13^th minute courtesy of Dozwin D’costa’s strike. However, Kian Guard’s goal in the very next minute brought the game back to level terms.

But it was Catholic Gym once again to take the lead when minutes before half-time Kaushik Kinjawdekar doubled the lead. Mid-way through the second half, Kian once again rescued Kenkre with another equaliser to make 2-2. Both sides looked for a winner later in the game but the game trudged to a 2-2 draw as Kenkre are now left to scale three wins in remaining three games for a top 2 finish.

In other game, RSF (B) smashed four goals past a hapless 10 man Mumbai Warriors U19 side. With battle for top 2 spot still open both sides came into the game looking for win. Vicky Karkode 7^th minute strike gave RSF (B) an important lead but it was the early sending off of Sawrin Chudasami that changed the course of the game. Battling with ten men, Mumbai Warriors U-19 found it hard to break RSF defence. Around the half hour mark, Alfred Menezes doubled the goal to make matters worse for Mumbai Warriors. In search of goals, warriors began putting men forward but in the process exposing their defence. This was exploited well in the injury time when Danish and Wilfred struck quick goals to finish off the game

Game D: Mumbai Warriors U-19 0 – 4 R.S.F. (B) (Vicky Karkode 7’, Alfred Menezes 32’, Danish Qureshi 80+1’, Wilfred Menezes 80+2’)
