Keeping up their fine run of form, defending champions Smt RSB AVM (Juhu) had little problems in securing their place in the Playoffs of the girls under-16 first division of the MSSA inter-school football tournament.

The holders, led by Stuti Kothari, who played well in the centre of midfield, registered their second successive triumph in the group stage as they scripted a comfortable 3-0 victory over VCW AVM (Bandra) in this fairly one-sided Group A fixture at St Francis D’Assisi football ground, in Borivli, on Monday.
