Samantha Fernandes played the lead role as Rajhans Vidyalaya (Andheri) did well to defeat Bombay Scottish (Mahim) by a slender 9-7 margin in a closely-fought girls under-11 quarter-final match of the MSSA inter-schools football tournament at Azad Maidan on Tuesday.

Showing plenty of confidence with her shooting, Samantha scored seven points, including the decisive basket at the death, which helped Rajhans snatch victory.
