Navelim Youth Centre lift G.O.A. Trophy
Navelim Youth Centre lifted the Goan Overseas
Association (GOA) Rolling Trophy for the second time
edging out Bombay Boys by an odd goal in
two in a pulsating final watched by a large crowd. The
final match of the XII edition of this prestigious
tournament, sponsored by Bassem International Trading
Co. was played on 29 April 2005 under the auspices of
the Kuwait India Football Federation (KIFF) at Soor
Grounds, Kuwait.
Navelim Youth Centre (NYC) sponsored by City
International Exchange Co. took the lead in the 26th
minute of the first half through Cruzedio
Rodrigues, who always an opportunist, slotted home
from an acute angle.
This was a wake up call for Bombay Boys and only the
upright denied them twice the chance to level scores.
Americo Fernandes scored Navelims second,
sidestepping Bombay Boys keeper immediately after the
change of ends. Fifteen minutes later, Bombay Boys
earned and converted a penalty kick. Buoyed by this,
Bombay Boys went all out in search of the equalizer.
It was then Navelims turn to desperately defend their
lead and they did manage to see out the clock to lift
the coveted trophy. Britto Pereira was excellent in
goal for Navelim. This is the third time Bombay Boys
featured in the finals of this tournament but are yet
to inscribe their name on the trophy.
The match was officiated by Julio Cardoso who booked
three Navelim players and one from Bombay Boys to keep
his authority on the game. He was assisted by Andrew,
Jerry and Pillai.
Charles DSa, General Manager - Bassem International
Trading Co. and tournament sponsor congratulated the
organizers and presented the GOA
Rolling Trophy to Navelim captain Gasper Crasto and
Individual Trophies to
the winners.
Assumption DSa, team manager of GOA Maroons presented
the winners trophy. Lawry Pinto, Team Manager of
Rising Stars, presented the runners up trophy. Ms.
Melissa Fernandes, captain of the Goa State Basketball
team and a long distance running medalist, presented
the runners-up with individual trophies.
Man of the Match, Duarte Ferrao of Navelim Youth
Centre received his trophy at the hands of Tony
Correia, Vice President of Goan Overseas Association
and ex-president of Kuwait Indian Football Federation.
Tony Dias, President of KIFF, presented the match
officials with special trophies.
