Churning out a strong defensive display, Holy Family High School (Andheri) booked their place in the boys U-16 second division final, beating an in-form St Lawrence High School (Borivli) by a solitary goal in the first semi-final at the St Francis D’Assisi ground, Borivli, on Friday.


After a goalless first half, Holy Family struck immediately after resumption. The speedy Rachit Madhav latched on to a long clearance down the centre and did well to evade the challenge of St Lawrence’s centre-back Ronak Kanojia before slotting home.
