Prisha Patel, 10, played with plenty of verve and vigour and worked tirelessly in both attack and defence. Her twin strikes from long solo efforts were instrumental in Bombay International School’s (Babulnath) fluent 2-0 victory over Dhirubhai Ambani International School (BKC) in a girls’ U-12 quarter-final match of the MSSA inter-school football tournament at Azad Maidan on Thursday. 

Prisha displayed excellent dribbling skills and her ball control was seen all over the ground. With dashing runs, she spearheaded the team’s attack, and when the rivals had ball possession, she was quick to fall back to support the defence and ensured her school came out victorious. Prisha, who had earlier scored nine goals in the school’s 13-0 win over Rustomjee Cambridge School (Dahisar), has now accumulated 11 goals from three matches.
