Group stage underway in full swing, Anjuman Matriculation U-13s' hot streak continues

The group stages of the BOOST-Chennaiyin FC Football Championship were underway in full swing at the Doveton School, Vepery here today. With the entertaining one-off knockout ties to decide the group stage teams concluding on Monday, the round-robin group stage in both U-13 and U-15 categories promises further exciting football involving lots of talent and goals.

There were three group games each played in both age categories of U-13 and U-15 on day seven. Don Bosco, Perambur U-15s began proceedings with a 2-1 win over Chinmaya Vidyalaya, Virugambakkam, goals from Sri Arabind and Maran continuing their side’s fine form in front of goal.

Hosts Doveton School, Vepery U-13s then narrowly defeated Chennai Public School through Daniel’s well taken strike. Jagadish then helped Seventh Day Adventist U-13s to a 1-0 win over PSBB KK Nagar.

Back to the U-15 action, as Kings & Queens Residential School ran out 4-0 winners over Bethany H.S.S., courtesy goals from Anuj, Ashish and Aman. The only draw of the day was witnessed between SBOA U-15s and Chettinad Vidyashram U-15s, playing out a 1-1 stalemate.

The day ended with a bang as Anjuman Matriculation U-13s cruised past SBOA U-13s by a 5-0 scoreline. A Sikander double along with goals from Hayath Basha, Umar and Alqamar saw Anjuman outclass their opponents, with their goal tally from three games now 18, having won their previous two games 6-0 and 7-0 against Chinmaya Vidyalaya Anna Nagar U-13s (league stage – Group A) and Mohammed Sathak Matriculation U-13s (one-off knockout tie).
