St Pius X (Mulund) players were a disappointed lot after suffering a 0-1 defeat to Cathedral & John Connon in a boys U-16 Division I Group A league match of the MSSA inter-school football tournament at the St Xavier's ground, Parel yesterday. Cathedral's Jaden Irani struck the crucial winner to secure the school's second successive win.

However, a little more than an hour later, the smiles were back on the faces of the St Pius boys as defending champions St Mary's SSC (Mazagaon) and Campion (Colaba) played out a goalless draw in the concluding match of their group.
