Opportunistic forward Isha Patel, 14, and enterprising midfielder Jordan Desmond, 14, scored decisive winning goals as Carmel of St Joseph’s (Malad) and St Stanislaus HS (Bandra) recorded identical 1-0 victories to clinch the girls’ and boys’ U-16 hockey titles respectively in the Mumbai Schools Sports Association-organised Olympic Day celebrations at the MHAL Stadium, Churchgate, recently.
Carmel of St Joseph’s beat Duruelo Convent HS (Bandra) 1-0. Isha scored the winner in the second half. She trapped Taleesa Vaz’s pass and cleverly pushed the ball past the Duruelo goalkeeper to help her team emerge champions.
