Day2 - Football

The second day of Football matches on Field A at #Spandan2018CVSL was met with a similar fervor and spirit to the first. From the first kick-off to the last whistle, the players showed brilliant spirit and excellent skills. Whether it was the goalkeepers, punching and catching the balls from wherever they came, or the strikers, smashing it into the net and screaming their celebratory catchphrases. Not only did the non-participants from every school show support for their school, but they created songs for each player, and sang it as the ball soared through the air.

To start the day, the #CathedralIBDP Cathedral John Connon School, with bullet-like shots, accurate clearances, and brave counterattacks, achieved a 7-0 victory over Symbiosis International School in an Under-18 match.

Having lost one match, and drawn the other, the Cathedral Vidya School needed a huge margin of victory over their next opponents, the Kohinoor American School. In an intense battle with shots ranging the entire field, the Cathedral Vidya School won a 3-0 victory, but it wasn’t enough. #BoardingSchoolinIndia
