Stanislaus’ Bradley uses head to telling effect

Joshua Vessaokar, later declared the player of the final for Stanislaus by Fr Godwin Cordeiro, curled in a corner kick which needed but a little help from Tellis’ head after goalkeeper Ferrao Jackson was well and truly beaten.

The two 15s — Qureshi Majeed (OLS) and Floyd Dharmai (Stanislaus) — were the backbones of their respective sides, with both making enough forays into the opposition ranks but never once succeeding. Majeed, the best player for OLS, tried his leg at a few long distance shots, and one of them had custodian Wren D’Abreo stretching.

In the 13th minute, Majeed struck from 15yards and D’Abreo got his finger tips to the ball, sending it towards the goal. But from nowhere rose the diminutive Dharmai, heading into safety what would have been a kiss of life for the Dadar side.

Majeed would not let D’Abreo alone, shooting from 25 yards three minutes later which had the ‘keeper lunging to his right to ward off danger. But that was where Majeed ran out of steam and Stanislaus took over.

Holy Family (Andheri) A took the third spot beating St Andrew’s (Bandra) A 2-0, S Srikanth and Coutinho Mathais doing the scoring.
