PIFA Colaba U-19 Runner Up of the BFRA FairPlay Tournament.

The annual BFRA Fairplay tournament was organised on the 26th of January at the St. Xaviers ground Parel. The 9 a-side tournament which is held annually on the Republic Day is an excellent opportunity for youngsters to showcase their talent and the PIFA Colaba FC U-19 team did just that. The team showed excellent character throughout the tournament which is a feature of all PIFA teams. The all day tournament was a real test of the strength and resolve of the boys as the team comprised of young and promising footballers of the future.


The first game saw PIFA up against the big guns; Air India U-19. The boys gave their best and won the game 3-4 in a dramatic penalty shootout. PIFA goalkeeper Pritam Jadhav pulled some excellent saves to help the team progress to the next round. The second game was against 'Mumbai Muslims' which PIFA won comfortably by 2 goals to nil. This result saw PIFA Colaba U-19 progress to the semi finals. The semi final was a close call with the game ending up with the game ending up 1-0. PIFA Colaba U-19 was through to the 2nd consecutive final of the BFRA Fairplay tournament.

PIFA faced 'Intellinet' in the finals. Unfortunately the PIFA Colaba U-19 boys lost by a seldom goal. To be fair to the U-19 team, the final was immediately after the semi final giving the boys very little time to recoup from the hard fought semi final.

It was a great result for a very young side that brought the 'BFRA Fairplay Runner-up trophy' back to PIFA. There were a lot of individual laurels by PIFA players as Pritam Jadhav bagged the "Best Goalkeeper Trophy' and Noel Rodrigues won the 'Upcoming Player' award. This young PIFA side has a lot of potential and a long way to go
