Two Mumbai Schools Sports Association’s (MSSA) Div II U-16 inter-school football matches were delayed by over two hours and one match could not be held yesterday at the St Xavier’s ground, Parel simply because the referees didn’t know who was playing who.

One of the referees got to know who was playing the 9 am match between Navy Children (Colaba) vs Lilavati Podar (Santacruz) a good one and a half hours later when this correspondent gave him a copy of the fixture sheet. As a result, the Holy Family (Andheri) vs Don Bosco (Matunga) clash was delayed. The third U-16 Div II match of the day at Parel — Don Bosco (Borivli) and St Anthony’s (Versova) — couldn’t be held because the Mumbai District Football Association (MDFA) matches were scheduled for a 12 pm kick off.
