Incessant rains from early morning forced the abandonment of the boys' U-16 Division II semi-final matches of the MSSA inter-schools football tournament on Saturday.
The two matches which were scheduled to be played at the Neville D'Souza ground at Bandra, was water-logged and referee Oneil Kalicharan stopped the first semi-final played between St Anne's (Orlem) and St Paul's (Dadar) after four minutes of play.

"Since there was no respite from the rains, the MSSA football secretary Sebastian Fernandes and I decided to also cancel the second semi-final scheduled to be played between St Joseph's (Orlem) and Arya Vidya Mandir (Juhu)," Kalicharan said.
According to Fernandes, the semi-finals will now be played on Monday morning at the same venue.
