St Stanislaus 'A', Bandra midfielder Nathan Fernandes was over the moon after scoring the all-important goal in their 1-0 win over St Francis D'Assisi 'A', Borivli in the boys U-16 Div I tie of the Mumbai School Sports Association (MSSA) inter-school football tournament at Azad Maidan on Saturday
The win was crucial considering it was the school’s first MSSA fixture after their U-12 hockey and U-14 football teams were recently banned by MSSA on disciplinary grounds. The supposed two-year bans were later revoked but not before a fine of Rs Rs 10,000 each was imposed on the U-12 hockey and U-14 football teams and the U-14 team was demoted from Div II to Div III. However, three of St Stanislaus’ coaches — Jubal Solomon, Hyacinth Cardoz and Trevor Fernandes — having been held responsible for the teams’ indiscipline, were banned by MSSA for the period of two years
