Abhay Chavan, DSO Mumbai City agreed the schedule was warped. “It’s not proper to make any team play three matches in a day. I will seek a detailed report in this matter,” Chavan said

St Andrew’s College (Bandra) were up in arms after suffering defeats in both the boys’ U-17 and girls’ U-17 finals of the DSO Nehru Cup hockey tournament at the MHAL Stadium, Churchgate, on Thursday.
St Andrew’s lost the boys final 1-2 to Don Bosco (Matunga) and the girls final 0-1 to Fr Agnel (Vashi). However, St Andrew’s Sports-in-Charge Ram More claimed that poor scheduling forced his girls to play three matches between 10am to 2pm. He also alleged that umpire Laxman Rao, whose son is the captain of Don Bosco, came on to the turf to officiate the match after St Andrew’s took the lead and was biased in the boys final.
