Girls from eight leading schools let their hair down, kicked around and had a rollicking time under the bright sunny sky at the mid-day Ranis of Rink 2019, Mumbai-s first girls U-16 inter-school football tournament at the Arena 31 Turf, a SportingLions Foundation initiative, near the Neville D-Souza ground in Bandra on Saturday. The talented footballers were excited and charged up. There was no quarter given nor taken as the girls battled for supremacy. Despite the intense rivalry, the youngsters were sporting enough and did not fail to congratulate one another after each of the 16 matches.

Worthy champions
Mary Immaculate Girls MIG showed their might to emerge worthy champions of ROR 2019. MIG, inspired by the brilliance of sharpshooter Angeline Antony, who finished with an overall tally of 12 goals, brooked little opposition from Apostolic Carmel Bandra to march to a comfortable 3-0 win in the summit clash. Angeline struck twice while teammate Cynara Mendonca added the third goal. Earlier, MIG had beaten the same opponents 5-1 in a Group B league match.
