Don Bosco High School,
Matunga, Mumbai
5 December, 2015
‘Playing Fields + The Dons = Untold Joy’ proclaimed the backdrop with pride,
and two days of unbridled excitement and superior sportsmanship it was, as Don
Bosco, Matunga witnessed their heart thumping, mega adrenaline rush annual
extravaganza.
Basketball, football,
cricket, rink football, hand tennis, kabaddi, volleyball, chess, carom, table
tennis, fun games, cycling, tug-o’-war, shot put, discus throw, march past,
relays and the numerous races were all enjoyed with great fervour, and more
importantly, with the true spirit of sportsmanship.
Day One saw the entire
secondary section of the school participating in an event of their choice, in
order to fetch points for their Houses. The secondary school quadrangle was a
beehive of activity as students either played their respective events or
cheered their House mates on.
Day two saw the boys
on the field for all the track events. Mr. Edgar Mascarenhas Sr., hockey player
of international repute graced the occasion as the chief guest. A keen
sportsman himself, Mr. Mascarenhas urged the students to avail of the
opportunities offered by the one school in Mumbai with the best sports
infrastructure and the biggest grounds to boast of.
The two days of
sporting activity resulted in the Red House being the overall winners, but as
every true Boscoite will be quick to affirm, the Bosco Sports Fest resulted
mainly in the glory of sports, thoroughly enjoyed by all.
