The final-year Mechanical Engineering batch of the LBS College of Engineering, Kasaragod, won the V.R.R.R. Super Cup Football Tournament hosted by its UDSF College Union. It trounced second-year batch of the same department in an exciting final match.The senior boys beat their juniors mercilessly with a fair score of 4-1.
Rafeek of the victorious team was the show-stealer of the finals with a brilliant hat-trick.
Second-year Electrical-IT batch was the second runners-up behind the second-year Mechanical Engineering batch which emerged as the runners-up of the tournament.
Ihsan won the man of the match award. Fazal Rahman, Lasheen, Hari Govind and Thanseef won the individual awards for the best forward, defender, goal-keeper, and emerging player respectively.
The fate of the match was pretty much decided in the first-half, which ended 3-0, with the seniors claiming the ground. The juniors attempted to strike back in the second half with a stunning goal from Deeraj. However, when the fourth-year boys struck back again with a beautiful goal from Aflah, the junior boys lost all hope. After that, the game was all about one team trying to safeguard the ball from the other.
