by Father Shaun D'lima

GUJARAT, JULY 30, 2018: Twenty-three teams participated in the third annual rink football tournament organised by the Past Pupils of Don Bosco, Chhotaudepur on July 29.  
At the inauguration ceremony, Father Brian Boothello, the Rector of Don Bosco Chhotaudepur, welcomed the gathering by reminding them of the famous words of Don Bosco, 'Run, Jump, Play but do not sin'. Brother Ramesh in parallel to what Father Boothello had said, made a special rule in the tournament of not having any cards.

Bosco FC (past pupils of Chhotaudepur) and Don Bosco Snehalaya made the final, with the former outwitting the latter, 2-0, and lifting their third consecutive title.  The competition was held on a knock-out basis on two separate grounds.

All the past pupils remembered the training they received from the Salesians during their school days.  The day ended with the vote of thanks by Brother Ramesh to everyone for making the event a success.
