DSO football: Christopher slams four as St Xavier's storm into final

Christopher Fernandes scored four goals to help St Xavier’s Junior College (Fort) enter the final of the District Sports Office (DSO)-organised Subroto Mukherjee U-17 knockout tourney

Christopher Fernandes scored four goals to help St Xavier’s Junior College (Fort) enter the final of the District Sports Office (DSO)-organised Subroto Mukherjee U-17 knockout tourney at the MSSA Ground, Azad Maidan yesterday.

St Xavier’s beat St Peter’s High School (Mazgaon) 6-0 in the semi-finals. Kevin Pinto and Dylan Da’Costa rounded off the tally for the winners with a goal each.

Xavier’s will play KC Junior College (Churchgate) in the final today.

KC beat Bombay Scottish (Mahim) 2-1 in the other semi-final. Prasham Sheth and Rohan Shukla scored a goal each for the Churchgate side, while Scottish skipper Parth Damani reduced the margin for the Mahim outfit.

Fernandes said his team would look to exact revenge when they play KC College today given their college had lost to the Churchgate side in the DSO semis last year. “KC is a good side but if we combine well like we did today, we can lift the trophy,” said Fernandes.
