Central Bank drub SBI

State Bank, comprising mostly veteran players, did well to contain their opponents goalless for the first 20 minutes. Thereafter, SBI ran out of steam and were battered badly.

CBI began cautiously and then struck in quick succession. In the span of 15 minutes, they took a winning 4-0 lead before the half-time.

Central Bank players were high spirits by now and pumped in five more goals in the one-sided second session.

The margin of victory would have been much bigger for CBI but they wasted several scoring opportunities, including a stroke8217; which was muffed by Vivek D8217;Souza.

Gilbert Buthello, Rommel Pereira, Martinez Fernandes and VivekD8217;Souza also added a goal each for the Central Bank team.

There will be no matches at this venue tomorrow.
