Veer Subandh's outstanding all-round performance helped Cathedral & John Connon (Fort) sent defending champions Don Bosco (Matunga) crashing out, as they managed to snatch a 4-2 win via the tie-breaker in the boys' U-14 Div-I semi-finals of the Mumbai Schools Sports Association-organised inter-schools football tournament at Azad Maidan yesterday.

The energetic Veer showed the ability to play in any position as required by his coach Jayesh. He initially did well to bolster the defence and then played upfront as the team went in search of the decisive winner. After the match ended goalless, Veer took on the responsibility of standing in the goal and he saved the day for his school.
