"Keeping in mind the scorching conditions, we decided to give the girls two additional breaks in each match like we did last year. We wanted to prevent a scenario where the girls would suffer a heatstroke and fainted on the pitch," Fernandes told mid-day yesterday.
All the coaches and the players present at Cooperage lauded the move. Mary Immaculate Girls High School beat Jamnabai Narsee (IGSCE), Juhu 8-0 in the girl's U-16 Division II semi-final match. Valencia D'Mello scored three goals for the Borivli outfit while Karen Pais and Naomi Fernandes scored two goals each and Angela Rumao scored one.
