The all-important goal was scored by Cleophas, son of former Orkay star player Remy Fernandes, in the 15th minute of the first-half. Cleophas showed good anticipation. He trapped and scored from close after the ball came out from a bunch of players on the left.

Ironnically, it was Dominic Savio who dictated terms. They were all over the rival territory right through. But the Xavier's defence, marshalled by stopper and captain Warren D'Souza, withstood the pressure by hefty clearences from the deep.

The other player to shine in the Xavier's rearguard was Xavier's goalkeeper Eugene D'Mello who was also in fine fettle and brought off four good saves.Earlier in the Hardlines encounter, St Xavier's (Fort) defeated St Paul's(Dadar) with a goal in each session.

Paul's suffered the same fate as did Dominic Savio. They were the aggresors right through but fell to counter-attacks after calling the tune right through the 40-minute clash. Vishal Parmar and Gordon Rodrigues were the goal-getters.

Hat-tricks by Shelton Rodrigues (4) and Ameya Shetye (3) were the highlight of St Mary's SSC A's 7-0 rout of St Mary's ISC B in the under-8 D section.
