In a rare instance, one school team (Lakshdam, Kandivli) were awarded a walkover against another (Seventhday Adventist HS, Byculla) despite the two playing their MSSA boys’ U-16 Div-IV football tie at Azad Maidan yesterday.

MSSA penalised Seventhday Adventist for not bringing their identity cards to the ground, which is mandatory for all matches. However, ironically, only Lakshdham coach Nitin Gurav was told about the walkover decision. The Seventhday Adventist side, who strolled in late for the match, played the match without knowing it was a pointless.
