In A splendid turnaround, St Paul's (Dadar) High School fought back to get the better of St Pius X (Mulund) 2-1 in an Ahmed Sailor boys U-16 quarter-final match of the MSSA inter-school football tournament at Cooperage yesterday.

The Dadar lads dictated terms from the start but the Mulund schoolboys put up a determined, dogged approach to deny St Paul's from scoring in the first half. After the break, St Pius started offensively and within five minutes, stunned the St Paul's citadel when striker Nitin Gavankar latched on to Vaidhay Shetty's defence splitting through pass and coolly slipped the ball past St Paul's goalkeeper Atharva Birwadkar in the 30th minute.
