Defending champions Kalinga Bidyapitha and last year’s runners-up Vikash Residential School registered contrasting wins in respective opening league matches of the MCL Cup 29th Bhubaneswar Inter-School Football Tournament here at Unit-VI Boys’ High School Ground today.
Playing like the champion team, Kalinga Bidyapitha rode on a double by Mihir Dehuri to pulverise St Joseph’s High School 5-0 in Group A. Dehuri struck in the 18th and 32nd minutes after Ashok Padhi drew first blood early in the second minute.
Other two goals for Kalinga Bidyapitha were netted by Anil Padhi (23rd) and Mohan Bhoi (36th). A skillful left-winger, Ashok Padhi’s performance fetched him the player of the match, which was handed over by former Odisha woman javelin international Sushama Behera.
