Some of the players playing in the Mumbai Schools Sports Association (MSSA) tournaments are forced to carry their own water bottles to the St Xavier's ground (Parel) instead of using the water cooler that was installed at the ground last month.

This is because the Mumbai District Football Association (MDFA) officials keep the cooler locked at most times, citing security reasons. Ironically, the cooler was gifted to MDFA by MSSA.
