Coach Laxman Bisht called it his team’s best performance, saying: “We finished sixth last year. This year our team’s performance has been really good. We have made it to the semi-finals for the first time.” Meanwhile, Krish who has scored five goals in four matches, hopes to see his team play the final.

The Kandivli school’s skipper Harsh wants his team to go all out in the coming games. “We have a good side and would want to go all out in the semis no matter who the opposition is,” said the 15-year-old.
