Ahana Arun Kumar cornered the limelight as she netted a hat-trick for JBCN International (Borivli), who defeated RN Podar (Santacruz) by a convincing 3-0 margin to reach the semi-finals of the girls under-16 second division in the MSSA inter-school football tournament at St Francis D’Assisi ground, Borivli, on Tuesday.
JBCN rode on an attacking first-half display as the brilliant, left-footed Ahana, who was sublime with her finishing, sealed the quarter-final encounter in the first half itself when all the goals were scored.
