Bombay Scottish's Sarah is keen to help her school emerge champs this season after firing four goals in her team's 5-0 rout of Jamnabai Narsee
Bombay Scottish school (Mahim) forward Sarah Arora was in fantastic form as she scored four goals to help her side sink Jamnabai Narsee School (Juhu) 5-0 in a Mumbai Schools Sports Association (MSSA) girls' U-16 Div I inter-school football match at Azad Maidan yesterday.

Sarah had already scored two goals in Bombay Scottish's 3-2 win against Apostolic Carmel High School (Bandra).
And she picked up where she left off by scoring in the very first minute with a close range effort. She added another in the seventh minute with a fine long-range shot.
Astute defence
The Juhu outfit were successful in fending off their opponents for the rest of the half but could not carve out a chance of their own.
Bombay Scottish resumed scoring though, as Rhea Rajesh scored in the 36th minute.
This was followed by goals from Sarah in the 43rd and 48th minute, which were scored from a similar right sided position.
Sarah was extremely happy with her performance and wants to win the MSSA title this time around after missing out last year.
"It is the best feeling to
contribute in such a way for my side and we want to win it this year after finishing third last year," said Sarah.
Goals galore
Sarah is no stranger to goals as she scored 15 last season. She and her currently injured teammate Deniese Pereira have scored an astonishing 63 goals in the last two seasons and Bombay Scottish coach Adib Kenkre has compared them to the deadly combination of Barcelona forwards Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.
Kenkre believes that if his side were to better last year's third place finish and win this year, it would hinge on Deniese, who is expected to be back at some point in the tournament. "These two are very crucial for our side. They are like Messi and Suarez. Sarah is a fantastic player, but to win this year we will also need Deniese back."
