DAMON- RAIA: Our Lady of Rosary High School, Fatorda produced a good show to drub Marina English High School, Verna 4-1 to romp into the quarter-finals of the 3rd edition of Under-14 boys Fr Peter SVD Memorial Inter-School football tournament played at SVD Seminary ground, Daman-Raia, on Thursday.
The highlight of the day was a splendid four-goal blitz including hat-trick by Siddel Araujo while Salvador Gama scored the consolation goal.

Four minutes later, Our Lady of Rosary High School doubled their advantage through Siddel who rose above the defenders and slotted past the rival goalkeeper. The 2-0 cushion helped Rosary School to mount pressure on the rival citadel and Siddel then got his much deserved goal when he slammed the ball into the net.

Siddel was adjudged man-of-the-match.
