Suraj Makwana's brace helped Our Lady's School, Dadar open their campaign in the Boys U-14 Utpal Sanghvi knock-out tournament at Azad Maidan yesterday on a bright note.
They beat Nalanda Public, Mulund 2-0.
What makes Our Lady's performance special is the fact that they have done well despite their side comprising kids mostly aged below 13 years. This is because the school is only up to Class VII.

So, students who pass out thereafter have to leave Our Lady's and move to the nearby St Paul's Schoolu00a0 due to which the Our Lady's U-14 team loses a lot of players each year.

Coach Joseph Pereira however is not complaining. "It is something we have to deal with. If we miss some players then we also get new players to replace them each year," said Pereira.
