It was a bright start for Holy Cross High School (Kurla) and Hiranandani Foundation School (Powai) in their boys under-16 second division campaign in the MSSA inter-school football tournament as they both registered comfortable victories in their matches held at the St Francis D’Assisi ground, Borivli, on Tuesday.

Holy Cross, despite missing a plethora of chances, had little problems in getting past SVKM JV Parekh International School. The Kurla outfit came through 2-1 with goals from Furqan Ansari and Dwayne Dias, while their opponents hit back through substitute Shaunak Hirani in the second half.
