Riding high on goalkeeper Meet Pawar’s heroics under the bar, Don Bosco High School (Matunga) beat Dr Antonio Da Silva High School (Dadar) 4-2 via shootout in a nail-biting summit clash to win the U-16 Jr Aga Khan inter-school hockey title on Sunday.

Playing on their own turf in Matunga, the Bosco boys dominated the first half with some fine, attacking hockey but somehow failed to find the back of the net. The story repeated in the second session with the Matunga boys messing up nearly half-a-dozen chances.

In the shootout, Aarav Phanse, Parth Chintal, Arnav Khot, and Aaditya Rane successfully found the target for Don Bosco. For Antonio Da Silva, only Sarthak Jadhav and Priyanshu Vichare managed to score. Don Bosco custodian Meet made two crucial saves, denying Antonio Da Silva’s Foaad Shaikh and Aamad Ghadge from the spot, to help the hosts emerge champions.
The U-16 KG Kalantri inter-school hockey final for girls at the same venue was an equally close affair. St Teresa’s Convent High School (Santacruz) eventually got the better of Duruelo Convent High School (Bandra) 3-1 via shootout after the scores were locked 0-0 at the end of regulation time.
In the shootout, Yukti Dabho, Arya Kamble, and Trenail Chand scored for St Teresa’s, while only Angel Nadar managed to score for the Duruelo outfit.
