Three-a-side training in their small school backyard is paying off rich dividends for JJ Academy English Medium School (Mulund), who beat Bright Start Fellowship (Gowalia Tank) 4-1 in a Mumbai Schools Sports Association (MSSA) boys' U-16 Division IV inter-school football match at Azad Maidan yesterday.

This was JJ Academy's second win in the tourney, which is credible considering the boys barely manage a three-a-side game in training due to insufficient space at their school premises.
