The Andheri school took the lead in the first half through Lloyd D&rsquo;Souza.

PIC/Atul Kamble Both teams felt that the heavy downpour prevented them from playing their natural game. u00a0&ldquo;Due to heavy rains, we were unable to pass the ball accurately. Dominic Savio is a good team, but had I not got the opportunity to score in the second half, it would have been a huge disappointment for us. &ldquo;We wanted to start the season with a win but the rains hampered the match,&rdquo; Sam said. Dominic Savio coach, Rajesh Chandra, added, &ldquo;There was water logging in some parts of the pitch due to heavy rains. But the ground wasn&rsquo;t bad. But as it kept raining the players ran out of stamina. They played well in the first half but were tired in the second.&rdquo; Meanwhile, Llyod said that it was disappointing for them to draw the game, which was almost in the bag. &ldquo;It is very frustrating. We were unable to hold on to the 1-0 lead. It has happened in our previous games as well. We defeated Stanislaus last year. But today we weren&rsquo;t lucky,&rdquo; Llyod told MiD DAY. Other results: U-16-I: Bombay Scottish (Mahim) 2 (Jash Patwa 2) bt St. Lawrence (Borivali) 0; Jamnabai Narsee (Juhu) 1 (Rahil Parekh 1) bt St. Mary&rsquo;s SSC (Mazagaon) 0. U-16-II: Hiranandani Foundation (Powai) 2 (Vikram Deb 1, Sohan Kulkarni 1) bt Swami Vivekanand (Borivali) 0; Utpal Sanghvi School (Juhu) failed to turn up for their match against St. Anthony (Vakola).u00a0

Heavy downpour played spoilsport during the Mumbai Schools Sports Association (MSSA) Div I U-16 inter-school matches at Azad Maidan yesterday even as former champions St Stanislaus, Bandra, were held to a 1-1 draw by St Dominic Savio, Andheri.
