Mumbai: An action-packed day of high-intensity hockey unfolded across the Fr. Donnelly, St. Andrews, Panchgani O.B and Ahmed Sailor Leagues, featuring dominant wins, strong defensive stands and championship-deciding performances. With titles decided in both the Girls U-16 (Panchgani O.B) and Boys U-16 (Ahmed Sailor) categories, the Dream Sports MSSA Inter-School Hockey Tournament delivered thrills from the opening strike to the final whistle.

In the Girls U-14 Fr. Donnelly League, Duruelo Convent set the tone early with a commanding 5–0 victory over Mount Carmel ICSE, powered by braces from Sanskriti Rajak and Farin Shaikh. Carmel of St. Joseph later delivered another emphatic result, defeating Ryan International (Sanpada) 6–0 with hat-trick performances from Yadavi Sanchaniya and Kayra Palkar.

The Boys U-14 St. Andrews League featured a mix of tight contests and explosive scoring.

Gokuldham edged Dr. Antonio Da Silva 1–0, while St. Stanislaus produced a clinical 5–0 win over Yashodham.

New Bombay City School continued their strong form with a 2–0 victory over Ryan Christian School in the Boys U-14 division. In the Girls U-16 Panchgani O.B League third-place match, Ryan International (Sanpada) prevailed 3–1 in a shootout after a goalless contest against St. Teresa’s.
