St Mary's SSC did not go home disappointed as they triumphed in the under-10 final beating St Mary's ISC by the same margin. Wayne Oliver scored two and Clayton D'Souza added one -- to take his tally in the tournament to 11 -- while Kurt Baptista netted the consolation goal for St Mary's ISC.

Joshua Henriques' imaginative through pass found Kapoor lurking in the danger area and the little third standard student pounded in an inch-perfect left-footer to complete his hat-trick.

It was, however, the diminutive but immensely speedy right-winger Keegan Pereira who incessantly threatened the St Mary's goal. Pereira missed out on scoring but one of his penetrative runs resulted inKapoor getting his second goal. Intercepting a St Mary's move in the St Stanislaus half, Pereira sprinted away like a thoroughbred, unstoppable. But almost.

The little warrior parted with the ball when surrounded in the box and found Kapoor to slot home St Stanislaus' 2-1 lead.

Though Dalal got the equaliser four minutes into the second-half, the St Mary's joy was shortlived ad the seven-year-old Kapoor was still not finished with his demolition job.
