Dr Antonio DaSilva (Dadar) put up a gallant display against the fancied St Stanislaus before going down fighting 0-1 in a tense and thrilling boys U-14 semi-final of the Mumbai Schools Sports Association-organised inter-school knockout hockey tournament at Azad Maidan yesterday.

St Stanislaus scored the lone goal when Shaad Sayyed found the back of the net from a superb field effort in the second minute of play. The Dadar school put up a strong fight-back thereafter as they tried to overcome the early setback, but were not able to breach the Stanislaus defence.
