Suraj Pillai has been Salsette’s coach in the journey from 3rd Division to Super Division. Suraj who is also the technical director of Young Guns alongside Pratik Telang who is CEO has been working brilliantly. The former looks after the players’ development, whereas, Pratik looks after all the important things.

By approaching this plan effectively, Salsette will get a steady pathway right up to their first team. This way they can implement their club philosophy into players right at the age of 12 which is huge step to developing talented players.

Young Guns has got the opportunity to set up a platform for kids aiming to make it as professionals. Also, the playing style at Salsette is much similar to what Young Guns encourage the kids. So it makes sense to stay on the same page.

Young Guns has been Thane’s best academy for kids for the past 4 years. They’ve been producing players to top clubs since a long time but now it would be filtered into one club helping the tactical development of a single club.

Every coach at Young Guns has a particular group to look after and its all supervised by the top coaches who is at the helm. Their development as a coach as well as the players’ development are looked after into much detail in this academy. This collaboration will surely help to build the football community in Thane which is much needed at the most.

The match went through some topsy-turvy moments where any team could have gone in front. IDBI looked much more determined to go in front. And they gor their breakthrough in the 6th minute when a howler from the Young Guns goalkeeper allowed Nayan Dhanu to put IDBI in front. A precious moment in the game where things looked like end to end stuff.

IDBI grew into the game and dominated possession. A highline from Young Guns meant they were now looking to slide the through ball to their centre-forward who was trying to stay on side. After many give and go’s the score at halftime remained 1-0 in favor of IDBI

Second halfs of MDFA games, majority of them have always proved to be the real deal. Many of the games go through a roller coaster. Many matches can be described as Cliffhangers. IDBI started from where they left and managed to score the second in the 57th minute when number 19 Bhavik Tandel netted the second. Another gift from the Young Guns keeper. Although IDBI’s attempt to get third were thwarted by their lacklustre finishing. And this almmost came back to haunt them when Young Guns pulled one back. Number 7 Karan Durante cut in beautifully from the left before slotting home the finish beyond the IDBI keeper. Any attempts from Young Guns to make it 2-2 were insufficient as they ran out of time.

For Young Guns it is the story of if’s and but’s. If not for those errors at the back may be they could have snatched a point. But IDBI played like a team going for all three points. With this point IDBI qualify for the playoffs with ICL-A from group E.
