A fighting unbeaten 76 by Prem Lingre helped Al Barkaat MMI (Kurla) beat defending champion Rizvi Springfield (Khar) by virtue of a first innings lead to clinch the Mumbai Schools Sports Association-organised U-14 Giles Shield title at the Wankhede Stadium yesterday.

It was double glory for the Kurla school, who also won the U-16 Harris Shield title at Bombay Gymkhana earlier this month. Al Barkaat ended the day at 172-7 in reply to Rizvi's 217-7 declared in the second innings of the three-day final.
