Kunj Lifts U-11 Title (Article in
DNA, Mumbai : 26/2/2007)
When the going gets tough, the tough get going. The
saying aptly suits Kunj Rawani from Don Bosco, Borivali, who bounced back
from two games down to defeat Yohan Pandole (Cathedral and John Connon)
4-11, 10-12, 11-5, 11-4, 11-9 to lift the boys under-11 interschool title at
Bombay Gymkhana.
The victory was special for Rawani as he just recovered
from a fractured little finger of the left hand, which had kept him away for
the past one month. ‘I just started practicing 10-days ago as I had
fractured finger on my playing hand.’’ Said Rawani who had palyed and beaten
Pandole before. ‘Yohan has improved his game a lot since I played against
him in November. Also I was tentative in the beginning.’’ Rawani said while
attributing the reasons for the initial hiccup.
