Nita Mukesh Ambani Junior School (Bandra) deservingly claimed top honours in the girls U-12 second division of the MSSA inter-school football tournament with a 1-0 win over Jamnabai Narsee International School (Juhu) in a keenly contested final at the MSSA ground, Azad Maidan on Friday. The Ambani girls were clearly the better side in terms of creating openings and found the match-winner in the seventh minute through a superb effort by midfielder Olivia Harris. She unleashed a brilliant strike into the top corner of the goal following a fine run down the middle.
The margin of victory for the Ambani school could have been higher had they capitalised on the numerous clear-cut chances they received in the second half. Midway through the second half, the Jamnabai girls made a fine attacking move, only to be thwarted by opposition goalkeeper Hrisha Badheka, who came up with a brilliant outstretched save to her left.
