The BM football match - Malhar Vadke (BM 1st year)

The match between BM A and BM B started with great enthusiam with all the team members and a grand crowd...of three present!  This was supposed to be a run up to the Ratanjee Memorial Tournament and a proving ground for all the budding footballers to make it to the grand finale, the mother of all football matches "XL-IIMC"!

The first goal of the match was scored by Gautum Dalal for BM A in the first half - this really set the "ball rolling".  Mohit Raina soon netted the ball to give BM A a second goal. Raina's amazing control of and accuracy with the ball through the entire match along with Sudhir Shukla's (BM A) talent for the game made it a combo BM B tried really hard to break through without any success. Combine that with Prithwiraj Deb and Richik Nandi (BM A), playing forward, sparing no efforts to give BM B as hard a time as possible with the the likes of Sumit Saluja(BM A) on the defense sealed off any hopes of the ball geting through to the other net.
Tejas Joshi, Himadri Shekar, Shailendra Barshikar and the goalkeeper Gautum Sood proved there was no lack of talent on the side of BM B, not mention Manish Kumar, the captain, who had to be pulled out due to an ankle injury. Gautum saved two goals and in the process complete devastation!

The talent on the side of BM B really did not have a chance to be on the offense with the full thrust of the BM A team forward with a policy of never passing the ball backwards, a change in that strategy could have been a change in the final result.

The last strike (literally) was by Richik (BM A) almost from the midfield! With that goal in the nets, and two minutes on the clock, the result was sealed, it was a resounding victory for BM A with the final scores being 3-0 !
