Two months ago, Antonio D'Souza 'B' (Byculla) coach Sajid Sabir Ansari saw Nishat Naik playing on the streets of Nagpada. And when the youngster turned up for trials last month, Ansari didn't think twice before picking him in the side.


Nishat Naik scored twice 

Nishat justified his coach's faith in him when he struck a brace to help his team register a 2-0 win over Activity High School 'B' (Peddar Road) in the Mumbai Schools Sports Association (MSSA) Boys U-16 Division IV game at Azad Maidan yesterday. The win also secured the Byculla school a place in the play-offs.
