Don Bosco (Matunga) coach Leslie Machado’s decision to play 13-year-old Marc D’Souza in the U-16 category seems to have worked well for him. For yesterday, Marc scored the only goal in Don Bosco’s 1-0 win over St Augustine High School (Nerul) to lift the J C Maitra & J C Bhattacharjee Memorial boys’ U-16 Cup, organised by the Bengal Club Sports Academy at Azad Maidan yesterday.

Striker Marc scored the solitary goal in the third minute with a brilliant right-foot effort. Even Marc is unfazed and happy with his coach’s decision to play him in a higher age category.
