St Lawrence (Borivli) registered their maiden victory in the girls U-16 Division I MSSA inter-school football tournament when they managed a hard-fought solitary goal win over Cathedral & John Connon (Fort) in the opening match of the day at the St Francis D’Assisi ground in Borivli here on Friday.

St Lawrence striker Prachi Mourya scored in the 10th minute. She received a long ball from her own half down the right flank and marched towards the Cathedral goal to make it 1-0. In reply, though Cathedral and John Connon enjoyed the better of the exchanges, they never looked like breaching St Lawrence’s rearguard.
