Saturday, December 12, 2009: BEST Arts & Sports Club scrapped past youthful Akanksha Sports Club by a narrow margin of 2-1 in the MHA IVth Division league match played at the MHA Mahindra Stadium, Churchgate. Akanksha S/C were in lead during breather over BEST.

Akanksha S/C showed up much grits and energy as they went into lead earlier on Vinayak Kothari deflected a brilliant pass unleashed from the 25 yeards by Amar Jadhav in the 15th minutes. The stunned BEST could not swallow the reverse they launch their raids only to get success in the second session of play time. Prashant Khanvilkar converted a indirect penalty corner in the 37th minutes for the much needed equalizer ( 1-1) . Thereafter the BEST kept tight vigil on the youthful Akahksha S/C things turned the other way when K.R.A Shetty banged in a loose ball at the spot for BEST in the dying seconds of play time ie. 49th minutes.

Tomorrow, three matches will be played. SAISA will take on Ajantha S/C, Antonians will play Grass Root ‘B’ and Chhattisgarh Tribals will combat Young Challengers.
