No sweat for BDL in SAAP league

HYDERABAD: Bharat Dynamics Ltd. scored an easy 4-0 win over Shastri Soccer Club in the SAAP Premier League prize money football tournament here on Friday.

Striker Waleed put BDL ahead in the 16th minute. Within six minutes he struck a second goal through a fine solo effort.

In the second session, Akram made it 3-0 with a neat effort from the right flank. Then Waleed scored his third goal as BDL romped home in style.

In another match, South Central Railway notched up a 1-0 win over State Bank of India with forward Azeem heading a perfect cross from left-winger Majid in the fourth minute of the first-half.

St. Patrick’s wins

St. Patrick’s HS recorded a solitary-goal win over Pallavi Model School in the fourth Dr. John de Souza inter-schools football tournament at Bowenpally Grounds here. The match-winner came through Nehal in the first minute of first-half.

Amit for Asian meet

Amit Sanghi has been selected to represent India in the Asian clay shooting championship to be held in Philippines from October 29 to 31 after good performances in the selection trials in Delhi.

The Hyderabad-based shooter recorded scores of 118 and 115 in the two trials in the skeet event.

Amit Sanghi happens to be the only shooter from the State to get this honour. Considering that he returned to the competitive circuit after a year’s break, this achievement has been lauded by the experts.

They hope that he would use this clay championship as a platform for the more important Asian championships to be held in Kuwait in December which is again a qualifying event for the Beijing Olympics.

City players selected

M. Nagaraj, Veer Singh and Md. Javed of Sports Authority of India (STC, Secunderabad) will represent the All-India SAI XI in the all-India senior Nehru hockey championship in Delhi, senior all-India K.D. Singh Babu memorial tournament in Lucknow and the Senior national championship.
