Anishka Giri, seven, with an inspiring all-round display, hogged the limelight by scoring all the six goals to steer Vasant Vihar (Thane) to a convincing 6-1  win over Don Bosco International (Matunga) and clinch the girls U-8 crown in the MSSA inter-school handball tournament at Azad Maidan on Friday.


Don Bosco International, who were unable to offer much of a fight, scored a consolation goal through Misha Mehta. The Thane school, which is making their debut in MSSA handball, has now completed a grand double as the girls under-12 team emerged champions last week.

Meanwhile there was more heartbreak for Don Bosco International as their boys’ team suffered a 0-4 defeat to Sanjeevani World School (Dahisar), who picked up their second handball title. 

The Dahisar school had defeated GD Somani Memorial School to lift the boys under-10 title on Thursday. Don Bosco had won the girls under-10 and boys under-14 titles. The hero of Sanjeevani’s win was the stellar showing of Moksh Sonawane, who scored all the four goals, which helped his school finish on a high.
