BD Somani's football coach Jeffery Campus has not only managed to form a team from a small pool of academic students but has also inspired them enough to put up a superlative display in the under-16 Division IV category.
The school, which has only 28 students in Class IX while 12 in Class X, has won three matches in as many appearances. It is not surprising for the coach to feel elated with his team's display. "Initially, I thought it would be a tough job to make a strong side with only a few students in the school. Also, it is a school that is participating for the first time.
"I really had my doubts about them finding their bearings. But I am extremely delighted by what the boys have dished out so far," Campus said after his team's 2-0 triumph against Christ Church yesterday.
Incidentally, the school opened on July 22 and the boys played their first match just a week later.
