"It's unfair to make children play matches without sufficient rest," said a mother of one of the St Paul's players. Sebastian did not answer calls and text messages

Playing back-to-back matches within 18 hours, the players of St Paul's (Dadar) looked low on energy, but still managed to pull off a 1-0 win against Vibgyor HS (Goregaon) in a boys' U-14 Div-II pre-quarter-final of the Mumbai Schools Sports Association-organised inter-school football tournament at Azad Maidan yesterday.
The Dadar school boys, who were vibrant and dominant in their 3-0 win against St Lawrence (Borivli) on Tuesday evening (3pm), were unable to produce the same intensity and were evidently slow yesterday. Skipper Atharva Rewale beat Vibgyor goalkeeper Arav Diwan with a scorching pile-driver from inside the box in the 13th minute for the winner.
