After a tough and nail-biting match, the boys of CMR Institute of Technology Bangalore defeated PES University in the penalty shootout for 4-3 and emerged as the champions of the state-level Inter-collegiate tournament organized by BMSCE. The tournament showcased brilliant performances of more than 20 teams across the state and acted as a great comeback for them to the ground after the Covid crisis and challenges.
CMRIT boys marked their way to the final with unbeaten victories against SVCE (3-0) in the first round, East point (3-0) in the qualifying stage, and BMSCE (3-0) in the semi-final battle. The lads stole their show with their skills at the right place at the right time and left their opponents in awe.
“We are all over the moon with this achievement and we sacrificed ourselves to reach here. Hopefully, this tournament is a beginning and we will get more grounds to bring our roaring sides,” says Abhishek, the player of the tournament who scored overall 7 goals for his team.
Dr. Sanjay Jain, Principal of CMRIT, congratulated the winners for their exceptional performance on the ground and victory. “Sports” he adds, “are a vital part of the education system that enhances students’ growth and development- both physical and mental. Active participation in various sports events helps them to hone their skills and confidence, thereby impact their lives in profound ways.”
