Carmel of St Joseph will play Durello Convent High School (Bandra) in the final today. Durello beat St Joseph’s (Bandra) 3-0 in the other semi-final yesterday.
The Malad school lost in the summit clash last year and are hoping to turn things around this time.
“We were overconfident last year and lost to St Lawrence in the final. This year we just want to play well and not think about the result,” said 13-year-old Lynette.
Coach Shelton Carvalho is confident his team will be champs this year. “We have already beaten Durello earlier in this tournament so I am sure we can beat them again tomorrow,” he said.u00a0
