AVS LIFTS RIMC TROPHY

T

...and the cup of joy runneth over.

he first ever victory by AVS in a pan-Indian sporting team event came in the form of the 10th RIMC Soccer Tournament, held at the Rashtriya Indian Military College (RIMC), Dehradun. The tournament had a total of sixteen participating teams which included some top-ranking schools such as The Doon School, Scholars Home, Tibetan School and others, from all over the country. The entire soccer squad, led by captain Dilun Tatak, had returned to AVS a week before the School re-opened for the Founders’ Semester, in order to train as a team before leaving for the tournament. After five days of rigorous and intensive training, the team was ready to put its best foot forward, pun intended!

The opening match against the defending champions, Tibetan Nehru Memorial School (TNMS), began soon after the opening ceremony on the 3rd of September. AVS was soon up to a 1-0 lead courtesy Longce-im Ingti. Finally, after a cut-throat battle, the match ended in our favour with a 4-2 score. The second group stage match against Scholars Home had both teams putting up a good fight. The match ended with a 1-1 draw with Samraj Parmar scoring for AVS. The third and final group stage match against Moravian Institute was a crucial one as it would decide whether or not we would go into the quarter-finals. The match began indolently with some careless playing by the AVS team which resulted in them going down by two goals to nil. Eventually, AVS scored
