But the day's honour went to Ameya Shetye of St Mary's SSC. Ameya slammed four goals, including a hat-trick, as the Mazagaon outfit thrashed Our Lady of Remedy (Kandivli) 7-0 in the other under-8 semi-final tussle. Shelton Rodrigues was the other player to shine for the winners with three goals.Zaid Malkani was responsible for St Mary's ISC's lone goal in the clash against Stanislaus in the under-10 semi-final.

The under-8 tie between Stanislaus and St Xavier's (Fort) was an interesting affair. The 6-0 score, however, denies the tough fight put up by the Fort side.

Egged on by the parents from thesidelines, the two had an equal share of the exchanges. But better positional play and power behind their shots saw Stanislaus make light work of the tough fight they faced with three goals in each half.

Karan Kapoor showed good opportunism when he scored three goals. Rahul D'Mello, Keegan Pereira and Joshua Henriques were the other scorers.

Results: Under-8 (semi-finals): St Mary's SSC 7 (Ameya Shetye 4 including hat-trick, Shelton Rodrigues 3) bt Our Lady of Remedy (Kandivli) 0; St Stanislaus (Bandra) 6 (Karan Kapoor 3, Rahul D'Mello, Keegan Pereira, Joshua Henriques). Under-10 (semi-final): St Mary's ISC 1 (Zaid Malkani) bt St Stanislaus 0.
