Don Bosco's Bryce Miranda, who was part of last year's title-winning side, said, "We won the boys' U-16 league title but were unable to win the knockout tournament. But this year we have players like Rahul Swamy, Romario D'Souza in the team apart from last year's 'B' team players like Sumesh Masulkar and Zian Kopti. I want our school to win as many titles as possible this season."
