Moksh Surve, captain of St Mary's SSC (Mazgaon) has thrown down the gauntlet to his counterpart Duane D'Souza of Dominic Savio ahead of their MSSA boys' U-16 Div I final at Azad Maidan today. "We are favourites to win the title and no one is going to stop us. Defeating oft-crowned and last year's champs Don Bosco [Matunga] in the quarter-finals has boosted our confidence," an upbeat Moksh told mid-day on the eve of the big game.

Dominic Savio skipper Duane D'Souza, 14, is equally confident. "We are a well-balanced unit and have good players in every department. Our players will work extra hard to win this one," he said.
