The Vikhroli school may be a first-timer in the MSSA tournament, but they are no pushovers in the sport, considering they recently finishedu00a0runner-up in the District Sports Office (DSO) tournament. &ldquo;We were unable to participate in the earlier editions of the MSSA tournament as the dates clashed with our school&rsquo;s annual function. This being our first time, we managed to field just the girl&rsquo;s U-14 team. We were unable to get the U-16 team as it comprises Class 10 students and they have their preliminary exams in January,&rdquo; Udayachal&rsquo;s physical education teacher Ishwari Chavan told MiD DAY. &ldquo;We played a very fast game. The opposition was strong, but they made some silly errors and that cost them the match. Also, as we are a new team, so I think they took us lightly and this worked in our favour,&rdquo; said 12-year-old Anushree.u00a0
