Double delight for St.
Xavier’s
Post Report
LALITPUR, Nov 29 – The sixth day of the
Father Moran memorial inter-school football tournament brought a double delight to St.
Xavier’s fans as both their teams won their respective matches held Thursday to enter
the quarterfinals.
St. Xavier’s Godavari Blue, who faced
tough challenge of Machhapuchchhre in the opening session, broke the defence shackles in
the second half to squeeze a 1-0 win. Machhapuchchhre goalkeeper who was otherwise
brilliant under the bars failed to prevent Saroj Bista from finding the net 21 minutes
into the second half, securing their place in the quarterfinals.
To meet them in the last eight, St.
Xavier’s Jawalakhel scored a convincing 3-0 victory over Young Hearts School in the
other match.
Xavier’s, launching early raids, moved
2-0 up as Manish KC came up with double strike inside 11 minutes of play. He scored his
first goal in the 2nd minute and doubled the lead nine minutes later.
While Young Hearts struggled to make headway
in the second half, Xavier’s continued to push themselves hard making life difficult
for the opposition defence. Abinash Khadki quickly exploited an opportunity to further the
Xavier’s lead to 3-0 three minutes after resumption of play to ascertain their
supremacy over Young Hearts.
