It is no secret that having good communication in your team is vital for success. And having two sets of twins in the team does not hurt your chances either, as Lilavatibai Podar has learnt.

The Santa Cruz school boasts of two sets of twins Kirk and Kyle Pinto, and Kartik and Kunal Mathur.

The unique quartet helped their team thrash Lady Ratanbai & Sir M Vissanji Academy (Andheri) 4-0 in the league match of the Nike-MSSA U-16 Div III inter-school football tournament at Azad Maidan yesterday.

Kunal credits his almost perfect understanding with his brother for their success. "I used to play in the defence  with Kartik but I didn't like it very much so I moved to the midfield.

But we share a great understanding. I know where he's going to pass and how he's going to react. We have some kind of telepathy going on."

Kirk, who scored three goals against Dr Antonio D'Silva (Dadar) in the opening match, is always the first to give due credit to Kyle.

"Out of my three goals, two were set up by Kyle. It's great to have him around. We make a great combination as forwards. Though we weren't able to play like in our opening match, I know he's always there back me up and is always encouraging me." said Kirk.
