Mumbai: SLEDGING is nothing new in sports and if you can deal with it, chances are you will emerge victorious.

Podar International tried to rattle Activity School after they went up by a goal in their Nike-MSSA U1-6 Div IV inter-school match at Azad Maidan yesterday.

In an attempt to level the score, they said a lot of unpleasant things. But Activity boys did not pay attention, stuck to their task, scored another goal and won 2-0.

One of the scorers, Parth Sonejim, said: "Even during the match they kept telling us stuff. But we didn't pay any attention to it.

One of the parents reacted after the match got over and one of the boys also got involved. But we didn't want to fight. So, we just walked away."
