The 14-year-old Rahul scored again in the 45th minute. The other title aspirants, Jamnabai Narsee (Juhu) had to be content with a second-place finish even though they beat St Anne&rsquo;s, Malad 2-0. Both Don Bosco and Jamnabai finished on 26 points each but the former triumphed thanks to a better goal difference. Marc, who emerged the highest scorer with nine goals said, &ldquo;I am happy that we won, but sad that I couldn&rsquo;t score more goals this season. Last year, in the U-14 division I scored 14 goals. There was a lot of competition this year as some good players were competing. Now, I want to win the Ahmed Sailor title and the District Sports Office title for the team before I pass out from school.&rdquo; Meanwhile, double celebrations await Rahul, the star of yesterday&rsquo;s show. Being a boarder, he was promised that if he scored in the final there would be a special treat for him. &ldquo;I felt proud when Fr Bosco D&rsquo;Mello congratulated me. Scoring in the final meant a lot to me. As I am a boarder, Fr (Roy Noronha) had promised me that if I score, he would take me out for a special treat. I am looking forward to the dual celebration,&rdquo; said the mid-fielder. Meanwhile, St Mary&rsquo;s ICSE, Mazagaon defeated Don Bosco, Borivli 1-0 to lift the U-16 Div II title and earn a promotion to Division I after a gap of three years.u00a0
