MUMBAI, April 18: Nobody Sports Club, a private side from Dadar, trounced State Bank of India 9-0 after leading 4-0 at the breather in the Bombay Hockey Association-conducted Senior Division League at the Mahindra Stadium, today.

The highlight of the game was five goals, including a hat-trick, by tall Llewellyn Charles.

SBI, playing with just ten players, could not stop the rampaging Nobody forwards right through the 70-minute encounter. The score could have been more had Nobody not squandered some easy chances.

The other goal-getters for Nobody were Christopher D8217;Sa, who opened the scoring in the third minute of play and then struck again in the 47th minute, Sunil D8217;Sa in the 13th minute and Santosh Shetty rounded-off the scoring in the 50th minute.

The match, as the score suggests, was totally one-sided. SBI turned up with just 10 men who could not contain their younger and fitter rivals. But due credit must also be given to Nobody, who were at full strength, and displayed good cohesion and skilfulhockey. The D8217;Sa brothers, Sunil and Christopher, their main strikers were in full flow and had things their own way.
