Our Lady of Dolours coach Marzban -Bawa- Patel lauded the boys for the win, achieved despite not getting enough rest. "The boys reached Mumbai only yesterday night at 11pm from Pune where they lost to Krida Prabodhini 0-4 in final of the boys- U-17 Nehru Cup. They barely got any rest and played in the morning at 11 am. I am glad they won despite being tired," Patel said yesterday.
