A splendid header from Harsh Deora powered Campion 'A' (Cooperage) into the final of the Mumbai Schools Sports Association (MSSA)-organised U-10 boys' football knockout tournament with a 1-0 win over St Mary's ICSE 'A' (Mazagaon) at Azad Maidan on Saturday.
In the first half, Campion couldn't manage to find the target despite having maximum ball possession. It wasn't too different in the final half as well until Harsh broke the deadlock six minutes before the final whistle. He beautifully headed skipper Sumer Singh's corner kick into the goalpost.

Later, St Mary's had an opportunity to equalise, but Sean Todiwala could not break the defence. Campion coach Wilfred Alva praised Harsh and Sumer's effort. "Harsh plays at centre forward position but also contributes in defence.
