St Columba School (Gamdevi) captain Tushi Shah, 15, proved her mettle as a versatile all-rounder, helping her school beat defending champions Shardashram Vidyamandir English School (Dadar) by two runs in a keenly contested girls U-16 final of the MSSA Manoramabai Apte Memorial inter-school cricket tournament at Islam Gymkhana on Friday.

St Columba, who had lost to the same rivals in last year's final, avenged that defeat and also halted the winning streak of the Dadar school, who have been champions for the last three years. This was St Columba's fourth triumph, having won in 1999, 2000 and 2001.
