Campion School (Colaba) reasserted their dominance, registering an authoritative 2-0 win over Don Bosco (Matunga) in the boys' U-8 Div-I final of the MSSA inter-school football tournament at Azad Maidan on Friday.

Aylmer Fernandes and Aryan Mehta, both seven-year-olds, scored a goal each to ensure Campion emerged worthy champions and completed a grand double. Last week, Campion had beaten Cathedral & John Connon (Fort) by a similar scoreline in the five-a-side final.

The Campion lads repeatedly raided the Don Bosco goal and though goalkeeper Sean Dilwarnijad made some timely saves, he was unfortunate to concede twice. Earlier, in the third-place encounter, St Mary's ICSE (Mazgaon) defeated Cathedral & John Connon (Fort) 6-1 to win the bronze medal.
