The victorious Don Bosco U-12 hockey team with the Walter D'Souza trophy at SAI, Kandivli on Saturday
Don Bosco (Matunga) got the better of arch-rivals St Stanislaus (Bandra) 2-0 in the boys U-12 final to clinch the Walter D'Souza trophy in the MSSA inter-school league-cum-knockout hockey tournament, at the Sports Authority of India ground, Kandivli on Saturday.
Both teams played some positive, attacking hockey and there were a couple of goal-scoring chances at either end early on but both teams missed out.
The Matunga school boys however, came up with the better performance on the day. They did well to break down the opposition defence and capitalise on their chances late in the first half to score two quick goals.
Swayam Gangurde fired Don Bosco in front before Arya Kambli doubled their lead by scoring the second.
