CAVELOSSIM: Khandi Bandoi Boys clinched the Edovisio Dias memorial trophy after defeating TP Boys 6-5 in the sudden death of the tie breaker, organised by Santa Cruz Club of Cavelossim, at Fr Druston and Wellington ground, Cavelossim, recently.
Khandi Bandoi Boys played a superior game and took the lead through veteran Charles Rodrigues when he shot past Rosario in the TP goal off an assist from Alex Rodrigues.
Crossing over, Bandoi Boys increased the lead when defender Shane Cardozo fouled Asher Rodrigues in the penalty area with the resultant spot kick converted by Charles Rodrigues to score his second goal. TP Boys fought hard as Dazlan crossed the ball to Elly who gave a neat through pass to Raju Cardozo who made no mistake to make score 2-1.
Buoyed by the goal, TP Boys raided the opponents when a shot taken by Raju at the goal was handled by defender Aston Vaz and referee Akash once again pointed to the dreaded spot which was converted by Clifton Cardozo to level the score 2-2.
In the resultant tie-breaker Asher, Charles, Flanco, and Aston Vaz, were on target for Bandoi Boys while Raju Cardozo, Clifton Cardozo and Dazlon converted for TP Boys. Kane Cardozo's kick was saved by agile keeper Alex to seal the win for Khandi Bandoi Boys.
Flory Dias, daughter -in-law of late Edoviso Dias along with Fr Ubaldo Fernandes, Parish Priest of Holy Cross Church, Cavelossim, Yuri Ferrao and Oscar D'Mello President and Secretary of Carmona SC respectively were the guests who gave away the prizes to the winners.
