VADODARA, JUNE 30, 2017: Over 100 youth participated in a seven-a-side football tournament, organised by Don Bosco Youth at Don Bosco School ground, Vadodara on June 26.

 

The tournament was exclusively open to youth from the parish and ten teams - consisting of nine players each – participated. The organising committee consisted of 14 volunteers headed by Father Jerome John and Rockey Kayasth. 

 

The teams were each named after a saint and St Gregory lifted top honours by drubbing St Philip Neri, 2-0, in the finals. Brendan Lazarus and Johnson Pillai found the net for St. Gregory.

 

"The event marks the advent of the new initiatives of the youth movement in the parish, being first of its kind, it inspires many to come together and experience life in its fullness," Aishwarya Vazhapalli, a volunteer, said.
