Billabong High School (Mulund) collected a maximum of three points, edging out Parle Tilak (Vile Parle) by a solitary goal in a keenly contested girls U-16 second division clash of the MSSA inter-school football tournament at the St Francis D'Assisi ground, Borivli, on Tuesday.
The match-winner came from industrious midfielder Dhyana Hingu, whose fine individual effort down the right flank in the 22nd minute made the difference in this hard-fought encounter, where chances were at a premium with little to separate the two teams in terms of quality build-up play.
