Mumbai: If there was one thing playing on the minds of the girls from Dhirubhai Ambani International school as they took to the finals of the under 12 division one MSSA interschool football tournament, it was the series of four final defeats that other sides from their school have faced this season. Maybe it was the presence of Chairperson Nita Ambani at Azad Maidan that made the difference, but the girls from the Bandra school were in fine form as they got the better of JB Petit 2-0.

Equal opportunities fell to either sides in the first half but both failed to capitalize on their chances as the deadlock was still not broken at half time. But things changed for Dhirubhai in the second half as Nikita Kapur's shot rebounded off the post, only to hit the Petit goalkeeper and trickle into the goal to give Dhirubhai a comical, yet well deserved lead. However, Saachi Munot certified Dhirubhai's claim on the title with a well struck left footer against the run of play to seal the deal for her school.Schools football.
