Mumbai: Coaches of various city schools are miffed with the Mumbai Schools Sports Association (MSSA) for the school sports body's decision to rent out their Azad Maidan ground to hold private tournaments thereby causing a delay of two weeks in their own boys U-10 and U-8 tournaments.

Alister Fernandes, coach of St Catherine of Siena and Orphanage (Bandra), said, "MSSA have gone off schedule as far as the U-8 fixtures are concerned by almost two weeks. I remember they had the U-8 final on February 18 last year."
